Features Complies with the IEEE-488.2 standard Other As the card complies with the IEEE-488.2 standard, you can A function is provided to read all control lines and data lines. control any external device that supports this standard. This enables various operations to be performed from the application. [Includes control line latch function. Data lines Data transfer speed 1.5Mbyte/sec max. are only supported on the GP-IB(LPCI)F.] The maximum data transfer speed for communications is Support for both of Low Profile size and standard size slots 1.5Mbyte/sec. (interchangeable with a bundled bracket). Supports bus master operation The bus master data transfer function enables large quantities Specification of data to be transferred between the board and PC without loading the CPU. Encoder Input Section Internal 2Kbyte FIFO buffers for send and receive Item GP-IB(LPCI)F GP-IB(LPCI)FL GPIB The board has separate 2Kbyte FIFO buffers for sending and 1ch receiving data, allowing both small and large volumes of data to Number of channel Conforms to IEEE-488.1, 488.2(GPIB)standards be transferred at high speed. Transfer format 8-bit parallel, 3-wire handshake system Transfer rate 1.5Mbyte/sec Interface messages also use a FIFO to enable high-speed Data buffer size 2Kbyte send, 2Kbyte receive transmission. Negative logic Signal logic L level : 0.8V or less, Built-in GPIB bus analyzer function H level : 2.0V or more Cable length between device 4m or less The board features a bus analyzer function. [GP-IB(LPCI)F] Total cable length 20m or less This not only allows the signals on the GPIB bus to analyzed, Connectable number of 15 devices (Max.) but also permits signal analysis to be performed while the device 64K data points board is performing GPIB communications Analyzer buffer size (1 data point: Control None signals + DIO1 to 8) Built-in SPAS event function Bus master section In addition to the functions of the earlier GPIB controller DMA channels 2ch Transfer bus width 32-bit (μPD7210), the board also supports the SPAS event generated Transfer data length 8 PCI Words length (Max.) when a serial poll occurs. This gives you a high level of Transfer rate 80Mbyte/sec flexibility in constructing your system. Scatter/Gather function 64Mbyte/ch Common section Internal high-precision timer I/O address Any 128-byte boundary Interrupt 1 level use The board includes a high-precision application timer to allow Consumed current 5VDC 400mA (Max.) accurate time monitoring to be performed under Windows.
