National Instruments PCI-GPIB+ Communication I/O Card
This National Instruments High Performance PCI-GPIB + card is in good used condition. The board is in great physical condition, the traces are clean and unscratched. The PCI connection looks good, as does the GPIB connection. This card also includes the National Instruments IO software necessary to utilize this card, and a GPIB cable. The card was tested with an Agilent 34401A and they communicated correctly.
The pictures are representative of the item you will receive. The cable included may or may not be new in the bag, and of varying length.
The same circuit board was used for both PCI-GPIB and PCI-GPIB+ devices, which is the reason why PCI-GPIB+ is on the printed circuit board. However, there are many parts that are not actually soldered onto the PCI-GPIB version, so it cannot be used in the same applications as the PCI-GPIB+.
So how do can you tell if this is a PCI-GPIB or a PCI-GPIB+? The best way to find out if the device is a PCI-GPIB or PCI-GPIB+ device is to use the part number. The PCI-GPIB will have a part number of 183617X-01, where as the PCI-GPIB+ will have a part number of 183617X-02.
The National Instruments PCI-GPIB+ combines a PCI-GPIB controller and a complete GPIB analyzer on a single board. The PCI-GPIB+ is a low-cost, high-speed alternative to separate GPIB controller and analyzer products. The GPIB analyzer portion of the PCI-GPIB+ can capture and monitor HS488 activity up to the full 8 MB/s rate. You can use the built-in GPIB analyzer for troubleshooting a variety of IEEE 488 software and hardware problems. It can alleviate many of the difficulties associated with GPIB communication, such as addressing inconsistencies, protocol violations, and simple bus timeout conditions. The PCI-GPIB+, in addition to including industry-standard NI-488.2, comes with an easy-to-use graphical analyzer application. You can use the PCI-GPIB+ to monitor, capture, and participate in bus activity on the GPIB at high speeds. You can capture GPIB activity according to user-specified GPIB criteria. Furthermore, user-specified GPIB events can trigger the capture. You can view captured GPIB information in multiple windows in the analyzer application or save it for later viewing. The GPIB Analyzer software displays the real-time status of the GPIB, including the 16 GPIB control and data lines.
