Function and signaling Metal bus interface that transmits signals in a bidirectional, asynchronous manner Supports both bitparallel and serial signaling within the same bus connection Connection mode is a bus mode, with instruments and equipment connected directly to the bus without an intermediate unit Compatibility and system use Suitable for connecting shielded GPIB cables between the computer and the instrument in a GPIB interface system Construction and components Includes a 24core cable Two iron shell connectors Each iron shell connector consists of a male plug and a female socket Key benefits and attributes Direct bus connection simplifies the setup by eliminating intermediate units Shielded cable design supports reliable transmission in GPIB environments Clear separation of male plug and female socket within each iron shell connector ensures straightforward mating Practical use scenarios Scenario 1: Direct PCtoinstrument connection in a GPIBbased automated test setup for data collection and control Scenario 2: Laboratory bench where a host computer communicates with multiple instruments in a GPIB interface system using shielded cabling Scenario 3: Calibration and validation workflows that require a robust, direct GPIB link between a computer and measurement devices Performance and physical characteristics 24core conductor bundle provides the signaling channels for GPIB communication Iron shell connectors (male plug and female socket) offer durable, repeatable connections in laboratory or equipment environments Design emphasizes direct, buslevel connectivity without intermediate hardware pathways
