Description
The PCIe-GPIB model is a high-performance interface board designed for devices in the GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) category. It is specifically engineered to fit into a PCI Express x1 slot, making it compatible with a wide range of desktop computers. The board supports the IEEE 488 standard, ensuring its interoperability with a variety of GPIB-enabled instruments and devices.
One of the notable features of the PCIe-GPIB is its impressive data transfer rates. In 3-wire mode, it can achieve speeds of up to 1536 Kbytes/s, while in HS488 mode, the transfer rate can reach up to 7885 Kbytes/s. This high-speed data transmission capability makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring rapid communication with GPIB devices.
The PCIe-GPIB is designed to work with both Windows and Linux operating systems, offering broad compatibility with most desktop computing environments. It draws power directly from the PCI Express channel, with a standard operating current draw of 320 mA at +3.3 V and a maximum current draw of 560 mA.
Physically, the PCIe-GPIB measures 3.840 x 2.712 inches, making it a compact solution that fits well in small form factor PCs. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 65 °C and can be stored safely in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 65 °C.
For connectivity, it uses a 26-position latching connector that mates with an IEEE 488 24-pin connector, ensuring secure and reliable connections to GPIB instruments. The PCIe-GPIB’s part numbers are 778930-01, 780575-01, and 779779-01, indicating different configurations or package options available for this model.
