This unit
The Audio Precision GAT-1 is a GPIB/APIB interface translator that enables communication between GPIB-controlled systems and Audio Precision APIB-equipped instruments. It bridges legacy APIB hardware - including System One instruments, switchers, and modules like the DCX 127 - into modern automated test setups that rely on GPIB control. The GAT-1 accepts commands from a GPIB controller (typically a computer) and translates them to the Audio Precision proprietary interface bus, allowing unified control of mixed-protocol instrument configurations.
