This standard defines the technical details required to design and
build an HP-IB (IEEE 488.1) interface. This standard contains
electrical specifications and information on protocol that is beyond the
needs of most programmers. However, it can be useful to clarify
formal definitions of certain terms used in related documents.

This standard defines the underlying message formats and data types
used in SCPI. It is intended more for firmware engineers than for
instrument users/programmers. However, it can be useful if you need
to know the precise definition of specific message formats, data types,
or common commands.

This HP BASIC manual contains a good non-technical description of
the HP-IB (IEEE 488.1) interface in Chapter 12, "The HP-IB
Interface." Subsequent revisions of HP BASIC may use a slightly
different title for this manual or chapter. This manual is the best
reference on I/O for HP BASIC programmers.
