GPIB-1014P User Manual
Installation
The GPIB-1014P is a single-height board that interfaces to the VMEbus P1 and is available with
either a single- or double-height metal front cover plate. The following paragraphs describe the
GPIB-1014P interface to the VMEbus backplane and to the IEEE-488 bus.
Verification of System Compatibility
The GPIB-1014P monitors and drives those signals required by the IEEE-1014 Standard and is
compatible with certified VMEbus systems. Compare the signals listed in Table 3-1 to those used
by the VMEbus system in which the GPIB-1014P will be installed to ensure that the GPIB-1014P
provides all the necessary signals needed by the VMEbus system and vice versa.
