IEEE488 GPIB line Key benefits Reliable data transfer on the IEEE488 GPIB line for connecting multiple instruments and devices. Long bus reach with up to 20 meters transmission distance and support for up to 15 devices on a single bus. Durable metal bus interface using bitparallel and byteserial bidirectional transmission in bus mode; direct parallel connection without intermediate units, contributing to longer service life. 24pin copper insert (GPIB 24pin interface) for robust, longlife data transfer. Specifications and attributes Interface: IEEE488 GPIB line with 24pin copper insert (GPIB 24pin interface) Transmission distance: up to 20 meters Data transfer characteristics: typical data rate around 500 kb/s; propagation speed approximately 1 m/s Device count on bus: up to 15 devices Connection mode: bus mode, direct parallel connection with the bus; no intermediate unit Material/ construction: metal bus interface for increased durability Use scenarios Scientific research laboratory: connect multiple instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, programmable power supplies, and other GPIBenabled equipment) for automated measurement and data collection on a single bus. University or research facility: establish a GPIB network across benches or rooms within 20 meters to support teaching labs and collaborative experiments with multiple instruments. Manufacturing or production testing: implement a GPIBbased test setup where several devices on the same bus are controlled and data is gathered during automated quality checks.
