- GPIB interface for Sun SPARCstations
- NAT4882 ASIC provides maximum IEEE 488.2 performance
- Transfer rates -- 1.4 Mbytes/s using 1EEE 488.1; 3.6 Mbytes/s with HS488
- NI-488.2 software for Solaris
- SBus DVMA data transfers for maximum performance
The GPIB-SPRC-B is a low-cost, high-performance IEEE 488 interface kit for Sun SPARCstation Series workstations equipped with SBus slots. The kit includes the SB-GPIB/TNT interface board and NI-488.2M software for Solaris. The TNT4882C chip performs the basic IEEE 488 Talker, Listener, and Controller functions required by the most recent GPIB standard, IEEE 488.2. With the TNT4882C and the SBus Direct Virtual Memory Access (DVMA) transfers, data transfers can reach 1.4 Mbytes/s using the IEEE 488.1 3-wire h.andshake. The TNT4882C can significantly increase the throughput of the associated multitasking Solaris driver software.
