Preface
Welcome to the family of National Instruments GPIB products and
to the Model GPIB-MAC.
The Model GPIB-MAC allows the GPIB to be controlled from a
Macintosh personal computer.
About the Manual
The manual is designed for users who have some familiarity with
the Macintosh personal computer, the GPIB, and test and meas-
urement equipment.
For users with less experience, we have included appendixes that
describe the operation of the GPIB.
For more specific details on the operation of the GPIB, refer to the
IEEE Std. 488-1978, “IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Program-
mable Instrumentation.”
Whatever your level of experience, if you encounter problems,
National Instruments has a staff of applications engineers ready to
help you with your particular problem. Just call
800/53 l-GPIB
800/531-5066 (outside Texas)
800/IEEE-488 (inside Texas)
between the hours of 8:00 a.m and 5:00 p.m, Central Time.
Now, look over the next few pages at how the manual is organized
and then at the Table of Contents so that you will be familiar with
the complete contents for future reference.
