RE: What is a K17-59994A HPIB INTERFACE UNIT? What does it do?

HPIB was the fore runner to GPIB. HP developed the protocol for
instrumentation communication, which became an IEEE standard and GPIB was
the generic version.

GPIB stands for general purpose interface bus. It is used typically to hook
more than one instrument/printer/PC together for control and data transfer.
My 4th year thesis dealt with Pc communication to an HP data aquisition box
over this bus/protocol configuration. I believe I used a general intruments
GPIB card for the PC.

Does that help?
