General-Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) is a communication standard developed to interface computers with measuring instruments and power supplies. The GPIB cable has piggyback connectors that allow for daisy-chaining multiple instruments and other devices to the GPIB bus. GPIB was the standard communication method for measuring instruments before the prevalence of LAN and USB.
