National Instruments PCI-GPIB+ GPIB Instrument Control Device     

The PCI-GPIB+ is a control device for GPIB instruments. National Instruments is the developer of the PCI-GPIB+. The NI PCI-GPIB+ device can be ordered with the part number 778033-01 as determined by National Instrument. The PCI-GPIB+ device is available with an onboard analyzer for PC slots. The NI PCI-GPIB+ device is supported by Windows operating systems. The NI-488.2 driver software can be used to program the PCI-GPIB+ device.

The NI PCI-GPIB+ is fabricated with an IEEE 488 control module. The PCI-GPIB+ GPIB Instrument Control Device is a combination of an analyzer and an IEEE 488 controller. The NI PCI-GPIB+ can detect computers available with PCI slots based on the analyzer and IEEE 488 controller. The PCI-GPIB+ is used for the integration of instruments with the required systems using GPIB modules. The NI PCI-GPIB+ GPIB Instrument Control Device can also provide aid for troubleshooting and GPIB hardware, as well as software issues.

The PCI-GPIB+ is equipped with analyzer software for activation purposes. The National Instruments NI PCI-GPIB+ GPIB Instrument Control Device can be operated with the maximum transfer rates for IEEE 488.2. The NI PCI-GPIB+ works without any microprocessor interruptions during data transfer, when using the DMA controller with a bus master. The PCI-GPIB+ device offers the most reliable and robust connections to te 3^rd party GPIB instruments.

PCI-GPIB+ Mature Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the GPIB Instrument Control Device will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
