Description
The PCIe-GPIB is a high-performance interface card designed for GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) communication. It is identified by part numbers 778930-01, 780575-01, 779779-01. This card is specifically designed to be compatible with the IEEE 488 standard, ensuring broad compatibility with GPIB instruments.
The PCIe-GPIB boasts impressive maximum transfer rates, reaching up to 1536 Kbytes/s in 3-wire mode and an even higher 7885 Kbytes/s in HS488 mode. This high-speed data transfer capability is facilitated by an onboard DMA (Direct Memory Access) controller, which optimizes data throughput and system performance.
Equipped with NI‑488.2 driver software, the PCIe-GPIB offers seamless integration and compatibility with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows and Linux. This ensures that users can easily integrate the card into their existing systems without worrying about software compatibility issues.
The card features a PCI Express interface, specifically a x1 slot, and it complies with the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 1.0a. This ensures that it can be easily installed in a wide variety of computer systems with PCI Express slots, providing flexibility and ease of use.
Another notable feature of the PCIe-GPIB is the inclusion of the NI TNT ASIC, which enhances the card’s performance and reliability. The connector type utilized by this card is a 26-position latching connector with a cable that connects to an IEEE 488 24-pin connector, offering secure and dependable physical connections.
The power source for the PCIe-GPIB is the PCI Express channel, with a current draw of 320 mA at +3.3 V during operation and a maximum current draw of 560 mA. This efficient power usage ensures that the card does not significantly impact the power consumption of the system in which it is installed.
The physical dimensions of the PCIe-GPIB are 3.840 x 2.712 inches, making it compact enough to fit in most systems without issues. This card is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0°C to 55°C, ensuring reliable performance under various environmental conditions.
