Chapter 4 IEEE-488 GPIB Interface
This chapter discusses setup of the IEEE-488 interface feature and describes the IEEE commands that apply to the
Bird 4421. Operators should understand IEEE standard 488-1978 and have basic computer programming skills
before attempting to write any programs.
Description
The Bird 4421 IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface has an eight-position DIP switch that sets operational conditions and
interface addresses. The bottom line of the display indicates the current bus status.
