 # Linux GPIB
 
-The brand new General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB, IEC-625-Bus), introduced by Hewlet-Packard in the late 1960s, can be accessed via [linux-gpib](http://linux-gpib.sourceforge.net/). This module offers native bindings to the very fundamental read and write methods (```ibrd()``` and ```ibwrt()```). So if you want to access your lab bench devices using JavaScript, this module will be your solution.

 ## Requirements
 
 Beside a GPIB-capbale measurement instrument you need a GPIB interface that is compatibile with linux-gpib. Furthermore linux-gpib must be installed and the GPIB-device must be fully configured. (Some of them need a firmware downloaded onto the device before beeing used. Google is your friend!)
 
 Node.js must be available in version 4 or later.
