5B standard?

[kmaryan@gmail.com]

Does anyone have a reference for the standard for 5B signal
conditioning modules? I had come across something that suggested they
were based on an ISO standard, but I couldn't find anything on
www.iso.ch. I'm interested in finding out what the standard pinouts
are, what the mechanical dimensions are supposed to be, what kind of
connectors to use...

If anyone has any info, I'd really appreciate hearing it.

Thanks,

Chris

Just in case you missed it: not a std reference, but info enough to
understand what it is all about.

I'd be very surprised if it's an ISO standard, but it's certainly an
industry standard, invented in the 1980's by Analog Devices, and now
copied by many, many vendors. The AD reference above is excellent
(after all, it's by the original developer).
