National Instruments PCIe-GPIB GPIB Instrument Control Device
The National Instruments PCIe-GPIB (Part Numbers: 778930-01, 780575-01, and 779779-01) is a GPIB Instrument Control Device. This model is an IEEE 488 compatible controller for PCI Express enabled computers. This device can be utilized in the integration of any compatible instrument into a system through GPIB communications protocol. This model comes with maximum transfer rates possible with IEEE 488.2. The onboard DMA controller incorporated in the NI PCIe GPIB prevents the user’s system from having microprocessor interruptions. This GPIB Instrument Control Device can be used with the National Instruments NI‑488.2 driver software. Thus, the user can enjoy more reliability without investing in multiple types of software for communicating with third party instruments over GPIB.
The PCIe GPIB Card is fully compatible with several types of operating systems, including Windows and Linux. This device offers up to 1536 Kbytes/s transfer rate in 3-wire mode and up to 7885 Kbytes/s in HS488 mode. HS488 is the high-speed GPIB protocol by NI, which optimizes the maximum data transfer rate. This device additionally has a x1 PCI Express interface which complies with the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 1.0a. The NI PCIe-GPIB also comes with the NI TNT ASIC, which contains the first maximum performance single-chip IEEE 488.2 controller, listener, and talker interfaces and integrated transceivers compatible with IEEE 488.1. It is equipped with a 26-position latching connector with cable to IEEE 488 24-pin connector included in your shipping kit.
Since it is an IEE 488 compatible device, the PCIe GPIB Interface Card comes equipped with a 24-pin, IEEE 488 connector. The PCIe connector on this model is x1. The PCIe GPIB NI device acquires the required power from the PCI Express channel and does not requires an external power supply. In standard operating conditions, this GPIB Instrument Control Device draws 320 mA of current at +3.3 V, while the maximum current drawn by the device is 560 mA.
The NI device measures 3.840 x 2.712 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 °C to 65 °C, and has a storage temperature range of -20 °C to 65 °C.
