IEEE 488.1-2003

This standard will build on the interface functions defined in IEEE Std. 488.1-1987 to define a set of interface functions that will enable higher transfer rates between devices adhering to this specification while still maintaining the ability for these devices to communicate with existing IEEE Std. 488.1 devices. Topics within the scope of this standard include: Extensions to the interface functions defined in IEEE Std. 488.1; Definition of new interface functions; Possible extensions to the remote message codes defined in IEEE Std. 488.1; Guidelines for calculating delays required to implement the new protocol at different distances.
