Description

The National Instruments GPIB-PCIIB GPIB Interface Board is designed to interface with industry standard architecture buses and requires NI-488 driver software for seamless operation. It is compatible with the Disk Operating Systems (DOS) developed by Microsoft, ensuring broad legacy support. Installation of this interface board necessitates either a 3.5 inch or a 5.25 inch NI-488 Distribution Disk, depending on the user’s system configuration.

For enhanced connectivity, users have the option to employ double-shielded GPIB cables with the board. The GPIB-PCIIB board supports both primary and secondary GPIB addressing, providing flexible integration with various GPIB-enabled devices. It also offers the necessary input/output addresses for computer usage, which makes it a versatile component in a system’s configuration.

This robust board can serve as a system controller, offering time supervision and allocation capabilities that are critical for managing complex operations. It is also equipped with the ability to abort input/output transmissions, a critical feature for maintaining system stability and integrity during data exchange processes.

From a hardware perspective, the GPIB-PCIIB is well-endowed with features such as an interrupt line, DMA channel, and high-speed options, making it suitable for demanding applications that require rapid data transfer. It even includes a time limitation wait function with a duration of approximately 10 seconds for operation control. The board excels in data transfer, offering speeds of more than 300 kb/s, which facilitates efficient communication with other GPIB instruments.
