PSI BOX Reference
instructs you how to configure the PSI BOX to suit your needs.
The use of the Buffer On switch is explained.
Chapter 2, An Introduction To The IEEE-488
Interface Bus Standard
, is a general guide to this widely
used international standard. It explains how the different IEEE
devices always know who is sending information and who is
receiving information. It explains what is expected of the
controller of the IEEE bus. It explains the general concepts
involved in understanding, and using, the IEEE-488 Bus.
Chapter 3, The IEEE Port
, gives details of the IEEE
connector pin outs, the function of IEEE DIP switches and
LEDs.
Chapter 4, The Centronics Parallel Port
, gives
details of the parallel port connector pin outs, the function of
Centronics Output DIP switch and the Centronics LEDs, the
parallel port input and output handshake.
Chapter 5, The RS232 Serial Port
, gives details of
the serial port connector pin outs, the function of RS232 DIP
switches and LEDs, how to set the baud rate, parity and RS232
handshake options. Details of how to connect the PSI BOX
serial port to both an IBM PC and a modem are included.
Chapter 6, The PSI BOX Modes 1-6 & 8
,
explains the differences between these operating modes of the
PSI BOX. This includes a description of how the data transfer is
performed. Typical applications of each mode are given.
Modes 1-6 are typically used to interconnect IEEE printers
and plotters to computers with only serial or parallel ports.
Or to connect IEEE-488 computers to serial and parallel
