The interface used by your instrument is the GPIB (General Purpose
Interface Bus).
Interface Bus).
GPIB is the interface used for communication between a controller and an
external device, such as the tunable laser source. The GPIB conforms to
IEEE standard 488-1978, ANSI standard MC 1.1 and IEC recommendation
625-1.
