Figure C-3. Star Configuration of GPIB Devices

The standard connector is the Amphenol or Cinch Series 57 MICRORIBBON or AMP CHAMP
type. An adapter cable using non-standard cable and/or connector is used for special interconnect
applications.

The GPIB uses negative logic with standard TTL logic levels. When DAV is true, for example, it
is a TTL low level (

0.8 V), and when DAV is false, it is a TTL high level (

2.0 V).
