Ask an ExpertThe GPIB-PCI-E is a PCI Express GPIB controller card that converts any PC with a PCI Express slot into a GPIB controller.
It performs all the basic IEEE-488.1 functions such as talker, listener and system controller. The IEEE-488.2 compatible funcions make it fully compliant with the IEEE-488.2 specification. In controller applications, you can control typically up to 15 devices (instruments). If operated as a talker/listener (device) interface it does exchange data and state information with the current controller-in-charge of the GPIB bus. The GPIB-PCI-E lets Windows and Linux programs control GPIB devices.
The GPIB-PCI-E card plugs into any PCI Express x1 slot. A 24 pin STD IEEE488 connector is used to connect GPIB equipment using standard GPIB cables.
Windows
The Windows software set is included with the GPIB-PCI-E.
It is a WDM driver and supports Windows (10, 7, Vista, XP, 2000) on all PC compatible 32 and 64-bit
platforms. Libraries and header files are included for the Visual C++, Visual Basic,
MINGW and Delphi development systems. An industry standard compatible GPIB-32.DLL
supports nearly all applications designed for that interface, including applications
developed for LabView 6+, LabWindows, Agilent VEE, TransEra HT-Basic, Agilent Intuilink,
and more.
Linux
The Linux software set is included with the GPIB-PCI-E.
It supports the Intel (x86/x86_64) platform Linux kernel versions from 2.6 onwards. Thus it is compatible with all Linux
distributions based on that kernels, e.g. Ubuntu, RedHat, SuSE etc. Application development using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
is supported. The ig++ class library provides all interfaces required to control instruments. In addition,
IEEE488.2/SCPI compatible instruments can be implemented using Linux based embedded systems.
