If your system has a GPIB Controller that is responsible for addressing the
GPIB-232CV to talk or listen, the GPIB-232CV should be set to operate in
the Device (D) mode. It is called the Device mode because the
GPIB-232CV functions like another GPIB device.
An example of a system operating in D mode is a RS-232 device, such as a
serial printer, connected to a GPIB system with an existing GPIB
Controller, such as an IBM PC with a National Instruments AT-GPIB
board, as shown in Figure 2-2.
