The document summarizes the IEEE 488 interface standard, including its purpose, common names, applications, and basic components. Specifically: The IEEE 488 interface standard, also known as GPIB or HP-IB, defines a digital interface system for transferring data between two or more devices, making it well-suited for interconnecting computers and instruments. It allows for computer-controlled instruments like data loggers, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers. The interface includes data and control lines to manage data transfer between connected devices and a computer bus.

2. IEEE 488
IEEE-488 refers to the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard number
488. The IEEE-488 interface, sometimes called
the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB), is a
general purpose digital interface system that can
be used to transfer data between two or more
devices. It is a digital interface for programable
interface. It is particularly well-suited for
interconnecting computers and instruments.
It is also known as Hewlett-Packard Interface or
HP-IB
It is used for computer controlled instruments
such as data login, spectrum analysis, network
analysis
