GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AX5488 is a full-function IEEE-488 standard GP-IB interface for the IBM PC bus. The interface makes possible the transfer of data between thousands of IEEE-488 compatible devices and IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible computers.

The AX5488 is a half-sized board that can be plugged into any I/O slot. The AX5488 has the features of shared interrupt capabilities which is compatible with IBM's GPIB adapter.

IEEE-488 was designed for use in network for instruments, which allows up to 15 devices classified into 3 types: Talker, Listener and Controller.

APPLICATIONS
IBM PC equipped with the AX5488 becomes an IEEE-488 controller that can be used for numerous applications in laboratory testing, product testing, and process monitoring and control functions. It can be used to monitor and control medical instruments.
