Late 80s HP T&M catalogs have product descriptions and specifications for
these items. 10 pages in the 1988 catalog in front of me, for instance.

Looks like you would need the HP 61061C "PC Instruments Interface and
System Software for the HP Vectra PC, IBM PC/XT/AT, and AT&T PC 6300" to
make the system work. Or the HP 98647A "PC Instruments Interface and
System Software for the HP 9000 Series 200/300 computers."

The catalog describes the power supplies this way:

  "PC Instruments consist of ten advanced instrumentation modules, each
   with its own isolated power pack."

  "Specifications: L = 4.33 in., W = 3.54 in., H = 2.54 in., weight =
   1.91 lbs. Input voltage = 120 VAC, 25 VA max."

No output voltages listed, but they sound like wall warts from the specs.
