Section Two
General Description
This section contains the physical and electrical specifications for the GPIB-1014P and describes
the characteristics of key interface board components, including a functional block diagram as well
as illustrations of applications in test and measurement configurations.
Physical Characteristics
The GPIB-1014P measures 160 by 100 mm and is supplied with a standard 24-pin GPIB
connector mounted on the front panel. The card is available with both single- and double-height
metal front panels (.8 in. width). A DIN 41612 96-pin connector connects the GPIB-1014P to the
VMEbus backplane.
Electrical Characteristics
All integrated circuit drivers and receivers used on the GPIB-1014P meet the requirements of the
VMEbus Specification and the IEEE-1014 standard. Table 2-1 contains a list of the VMEbus
signals used by the GPIB-1014P and the device used to interface to each signal.
Note: The asterisk (*) after the bus signal indicates the signal is active low.
