The PCI-488 interface converts any PCI bus personal computer into an instrumentation control and data acquisition system. Connect up to 14 instruments using standard IEEE-488 cables. The PCI-488 transfers data over the GPIB at rates in excess of 1 million bytes per second using the maximum IEEE-488 specification cable length (2 meters times the number of devices). The PCI-488 includes the GPIB software library for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and LabVIEW. The library includes National Instruments' style 488.1 'ib' and 488.2 command sets. The driver provides support for 32-bit, Visual Basic and C/C++ language programs and is compatible with National Instruments' VISA and LabView.
