the
A2
CPU
Board
Assembly
and
other
peripheral
assemblies
such
as
the
keyboard
and
LCD
.
The
section
communicates
with
the
A1
Main
Board
Assembly
in
order
to
control
the
latches
,
switches
,
and
other
components
on
the
A1
assembly
and
receive
the
measurement
data.
The
GPIB
interface
on
the
A2
Assembly
allows
the
4338B
communicate
with
a
controller
.
A
handler
interface
on
the
A1
Assembly
allows

CPU
Board
Assembly
includes
a
