Abstract

The surge of microprocessors into the market place may have received a lot of press coverage, but its full impact in test instrumentation is yet to be felt. The authors discuss the promise microprocessors hold for instrumentation, from the very basics to a relatively complex design for the IEEE Standard 488 (or "GPIB") Interface Bus. They also guide the designer quickly through many of the pitfalls that await the unwary, novice and expert alike.
