DESCRIPTION
The PCI-GPIB IEEE-488 interface converts any PCI bus personal computer into an
instrumentation control and data acquisition system. Connect up to 14
instruments using standard IEEE-488 cables such as the C488-2M, 2 meter
IEEE-488 interface cable. The PCI-GPIB is designed around the new industry
standard CB7210.2 GPIB chip
Greater than 1MB/s Transfer Rates
The PCI-GPIB transfers data over the GPIB at rates in excess of 1 million bytes
per second using the maximum IEEE-488 specification cable length
(2 meters times the # of devices). A 1024-Word FIFO buffer and the advanced
REP-INSW ISR transfer method provide all the horsepower required to achieve the
highest possible rates.
Plug and Play - No switches or jumpers
The PCI-GPIB is a true plug and play. Plug in the PCI-GPIB and run the
installation software then start communicating. The Plug and Play
specification is a standard for system configuration of boards and software
that automatically configures the address and interrupt level of the
PCI-GPIB. Note, the PCI-GPIB does not use DMA in favor of the superior
REP-INSW high speed transfer.
Windows 95, Windows 3.1 and DOS Compatibility
The PCI-GPIB hardware supports all of the operating systems and languages
regardless of the operating systems support for plug and play. The
installation software will manage resources for you on non-plug and play
systems.
GPIB Library
The GPIB Library includes complete Windows Language programming support. You
receive installation software and complete DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows95 and
Windows NT language drivers.
The GBIB Library for Windows is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL). It can be used
with most Windows programming languages including Microsoft Visual C++ and C,
Visual Basic, Borland C/C++, Watcom C and Pascal.
The GPIB Library is modeled after the National Instruments Library. As of the
time of this writing, the Library is syntactically and functionally identical
with the NI-488.2 library. This means that a program written for the NI-488.2
library may be recompiled for the GPIB Library and will compile, run and
function without error in exactly the manner it did when compiled and run with
the National Instruments software.
