ABOUT 3388
The Model 3388 is a double-width CAMAC module providing the interface between
a CAMAC system (IEEE Standard 583-1982) and the General Purpose Interface
Bus(also called "GPIB" or "ASCII Bus," IEEE Standard 488). This module allows
digital multimeters, counters, printers, calculators, display terminals, and other devices
meeting the GPIB standard to be connected to a CAMAC system. In the past,
interfacing such Instrumentations to CAMAC often required special modules and
engineering effort on a case-by-case basis. With the 3388, up to 14 other GPIB interfaced
Instrumentations can be connected via standard GPIB cables.
The 3388 GPIB Interface module functions as a CONTROLLER, TALKER, and
LISTENER as described in IEEE Standard 488. For example, while in the LISTEN
mode itself, the 3388 can cause a digital multimeter to be in the TALK mode. The DMM
then transmits data to the 3388 to be processed by the computer associated with the
CAMAC system.
