Introduction 1
1 Introduction
ADLINK’s PCI-3488 GPIB controller interface card, fully compati-
ble with the IEEE488.2 instrumentation control and communica-
tion standard, is capable of controlling up to 14 stand-alone
instruments via IEEE488 cables. It is designed to meet the
requirements for high performance and maximum programming
portability. The 1KB on-board FIFO and a block transfer mode pro-
vide up to 1.5MB/s GPIB transfer rate. With an NI-like driver API
and VISA support, the PCI-3488 provides the greatest compatibil-
ity with your existing applications and instrument drivers.
Performance
ADLINK’s expertise in PCI interface cards was leveraged when
developing this newly designed GPIB controller. The PCI-3488
supports both 3.3V and 5V PCI buses and can be adapted to most
industrial and desktop computers. On-board 1KB FIFO is placed
between the GPIB bus and PCI controller to buffer GPIB read/
write operations. The FIFO eliminates the gap between the slow
GPIB bus (~1.5MB/s) and the fast PCI bus (132MB/s), and dra-
matically increases overall system performance.
Compatibility
ADLINK’s PCI-3488 is delivered with complete software support,
including a driver API that is fully binary compatible with NI’s
GPIB-32.DLL. All programs written based on GPIB-32.DLL can be
executed on the PCI-3488 without any modification. VISA library is
also supported to ensure compatibility with applications utilizing
VISA. The ADLINK PCI-3488 provides the “Plug and Play” com-
patibility with all your existing applications.
