The standard connector is the Amphenol or Cinch Series 57 MICRORIBBON or AMP CHAMP
type. An adapter cable using non-standard cable and/or connector is used for special interconnect
applications.
The GPIB uses negative logic with standard TTL logic levels. When DAV is true, for example, it
is a TTL low level (≤ 0.8 V), and when DAV is false, it is a TTL high level (≥ 2.0 V).
