An SBC (Single Board Computer) is included in models with suffix "G." The SBC enables the RS 232 and GPIB (IEEE488.2) communications buses and permits an MBT to function as a "master" to drive other power supplies. Models without "G" (no SBC) have full local function and can receive instructions and readback data via their native serial bus. They do not have IEEE488.2 or RS 232 communications ports and cannot function as a master.
