IEEE: Standard Fastbus Modular High-Sp

This book defines a modular data-bus system for data acquisition and control - Standard 960-1986 applies to systems consisting of modular electronic instrument units that process or transfer data or signals, normally in association with computers or other automatic data processors.

Mechanical, signal, electrical and protocol specifications are given to assure compatibility between units from different sources of design and production.

The system on which this standard is based was developed by the NIM Committee of the US National Laboratories and other major laboratories.
