-
Communication can be performed at a maximum transfer rate of 1.2 megabytes per second.
-
One megabyte of on-board FIFO memory for data transmission and reception allows a large amount
of data to be exchanged at high speed while minimizing the effect of the PC’s CPU speed.
-
As FIFO memory can be used to send commands (multiline messages), a small amount of data can
be exchanged at high speed as well.
-
The GPIB bus analyzer function is provided to analyze data on the line.
