Installation and Operation
This chapter describes the procedures for installing and operating the
GPIB -BUF.
Figure 2-1 shows an example of a GPIB-BUF connected to a GPIB system.
This example shows a GPIB-BUF placed in a GPIB system with a GPIB
Talker/Controller, such as an IBM-PC with a National Instruments
GPIB -PCII Controller board installed, and a slow GPIB data acceptor, such
as an HP 7475A Color Plotter. Notice that the GPIB-BUF is placed in-line
between the existing GPIB system and the GPIB target device.
