Description of the GPIB-BUF Chapter 1
GPIB-BUF User Manual 1-2 © National Instruments Corp.
The GPIB-BUF has two isolated GPIB ports and is placed in-line between a
GPIB system and a single, slower GPIB device (usually a printer or plotter).
The GPIB-BUF automatically buffers all device-dependent data sent to the
slower device. Because the GPIB-BUF can talk or listen on either port at
any time, the GPIB-BUF provides fully transparent bi-directional data
transfers. The target GPIB device appears to be connected directly to the
IEEE 488 bus.
