DescriptionNational Instruments PCI-GPIB High-speed PCI/GPIB Interface Card, 8Mb/sec
OverviewThe National Instruments GPIB controllers for PCI and PXI combine high-performance hardware with a complete suite of development tools to get your applications up and running fast.The National Instruments PCI-MITE and TNT family ASICs make the PCI-GPIB a maximum-performance IEEE 488.2 interface for the PCI bus. The PCI-MITE, a complete PCI interface, is compliant with PCI Specification 2.1. The hardware is completely software-configurable and compatible with the plug-and-play standard for easy hardware installation. The TNT chip performs the basic IEEE 488 Talker, Listener, and Controller functions required by all versions of IEEE 488, including IEEE 488.2. The NI PCI-GPIB can sustain data transfer rates of more than 1.5 MB/s using the IEEE 488.1 3-wire interlocked handshake. The PCI-GPIB also implements the high-speed IEEE 488.1 noninterlocked handshake (HS488) for benchmarked data transfers at more than 7.7 MB/s.The PCI-GPIB/LP is a low-profile IEEE 488 interface for computers that accept boards of this size. The PCI-GPIB/LP is functionally equivalent to the high-performance PCI-GPIB and maintains compatibility for both 3.3 and 5 V PCI slots.The PXI-GPIB is a low-cost, high-performance IEEE 488 interface for PXI, the standard for PCI-based modular instrumentation that uses the PCI bus in a rugged Eurocard configuration.Because PXI is electrically a superset of desktop PCI with a different physical configuration, the PXI-GPIB module has the same functionality and performance as a PCI-GPIB board. The PXI-GPIB is available with NI-488.2 for Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/9x and Solaris.The PCI-GPIB+ interface combines the PCI-GPIB with a GPIB protocol analyzer. The NI PCI-8232 and PXI-8232 interfaces include PCI-GPIB functionality as well as an Intel 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet port. These combination devices save slots in your system while providing the full performance and functionality of their individual components.
