Description
Keithley PC 6292 Rev B Metrabus A/D Board 62900 9310/K 5192 I/O Card
The Keithley PC 6292 is an analog-to-digital (A/D) input/output board designed for use with Keithley's Metrabus data acquisition system architecture. It provides analog input and digital I/O expansion for Metrabus-based measurement and control setups, connecting to the host system via the Metrabus edge connector. The board revision is Rev B, as labeled on the PCB, with part number 62900 9310/K and secondary identifier 5192.

Applications
The Keithley Metrabus system was a modular data acquisition architecture from Keithley Instruments, introduced in the 1980s and aimed at scientific, industrial, and automated test environments. The PC 6292 A/D board functions as an analog input expansion module within that system, converting real-world analog signals (voltage or current from sensors, transducers, or instruments) into digital values that the host controller can process. Metrabus systems were used in laboratory automation, process monitoring, scientific research, and industrial data logging — anywhere that required multi-channel analog acquisition with a structured, expandable bus. The configurable base address and gain settings on this board allowed it to be tailored to specific channel assignments and signal ranges within a larger Metrabus chassis. While the Metrabus architecture is no longer in production, boards like this one remain relevant for maintaining or repairing existing Metrabus installations, as well as for collectors and researchers working with legacy Keithley equipment from this era.
This Keithley PC 6292 Rev B Metrabus A/D Board (62900 9310/K) has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was actively in use and functional. The PCB shows normal wear consistent with field use — no visible damage, broken traces, or missing components. The screw terminal connectors, edge connector, and DIP switches appear intact.
