NI PMC-GPIBGPIB Interface for PCI Mezzanine Bus |
The National Instruments PMC-GPIB is a low-cost, high-performance IEEE 488 interface for PMC bus -- the PCI Mezzanine Card standard (IEEE P1386.1). It is a standard for mezzanine interfaces for VME motherboards. PMC is electrically a superset of desktop PCI with a different physical configuration. The NI TNT4882C ASIC performs the basic IEEE 488 Talker, Listener, and Controller functions required by the IEEE 488.2 standard and increases the maximum data transfer rate of ANSI/IEEE 488.1-1987 to 8 Mbytes/s using our patented high-speed GPIB protocol (HS488). The NI PMC-GPIB is available with NI-488.2 for Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/9x. The PMC-GPIB is also compatible with the PCI-GPIB NI-488.2 driver for Solaris. Alternatively, you can use the NI-488DDK, a comprehensive source code package for developing applications for operating systems other than Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/9x. NI-488DDK consists of more than 20 board-level functions provided in source code to give you a head start when you must design your own GPIB driver. Additional Product Information
Extended WarrantiesNational Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, but we know unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase covering any repair costs for up to three years.
CalibrationNI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. We provide manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many of our measurement products. TrainingNI training is the fastest, most certain route to productivity with NI tools and successful application development.
