GPIB-1014 User Manual
Chapter 2
General Description
This chapter contains the electrical specifications for the GPIB-1014, the data transfer features,
and describes the characteristics of key interface board components.
Electrical Characteristics
All integrated circuit drivers and receivers used on the GPIB-1014 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-1014 and the electrical loading presented by the circuitry on the
interface board (in terms of device types and their part numbers).
Note:
The asterisk (*) after the bus signal indicates that the signal is active low.
