Description of the GPIB-232CV
This chapter contains a brief overview of the GPIB-232CV, lists the
contents of your kit and optional equipment, and describes the panels of the
GPIB-232CV.
Introduction
The GPIB-232CV, shown in Figure 1-1, provides a method of connecting a
device with a RS-232 port to the GPIB, or IEEE 488, bus. The
GPIB-232CV transparently converts data between the two ports so that
control codes or special commands are not required. The GPIB-232CV
also increases the efficiency of the interface system by isolating the slower
device from the faster port with a 256 KB character buffer. This buffer is
used to offload the host computer during printer and plotter applications.
