The Agilent 35900 is a dual-channel run buffered interface that connects
analytical instruments to Agilent data systems. It converts the analog signal
from analytical instruments to digital data and transmits it to the host
computer for further processing. The 35900 is intended for use with both
Agilent and non-Agilent manufactured laboratory instruments.
The 35900 uses Modular Input/Output (MIO) for host communications. MIO is
a standard designed to allow for maximum flexibility in peripheral to host
communications. The 35900 has an MIO slot on the rear panel for plug-in MIO
cards. The TCP/IP LAN MIO card connects the 35900 to the networked Agilent
data systems. The GPIB/RS-232 MIO card connects the 35900 to Agilent data
systems using the GPIB functionality.
