Warning!.Warning!._________
Unauthorised copying of Pro-488 is a crime!
Although public domain programs allow unlimited copying,
and much commercial software allows copying provided the
program purchased is only in use on only one machine at a
time, many programs specifically forbid copying of
proprietary material. The copyright laws of most countries
forbid unauthorised copying of computer programs without
the authors permission. Thus you will be committing a crime
when unlawfully copying programs from one machine to
another, and so will be liable to arrest.
Software authors, like the author of Pro-488, earn their
living from revenue due to sales of their programs, it is
legally and morally wrong to steal their income by misuse of
a computers copy routines. In these circumstances you
should buy extra copies of the program.
Don’t make yourself in to a thief! Moral debilitation will
result from habitually committing these crimes. You have
been warned.!
Licences allowing multiple copies of Pro-488 are available
from your supplier!

PC Elite MANUAL_________________
The Layout Of This Manual._________________________
This manual is a complete description of how to install and
configure the PC Elite IEEE interface board.
The PC Elite card, like our PC IEEE board, is an extremely
easy to use and understand implementation of the IEEE-488
interface for IBM PC and compatible computers. We have truly
tamed the PC and the GPIB BUS allowing you to get the most
out of your IEEE devices!
Chapter 1, Joining The Elite, discusses the features
of the Elite card, mentions programs and languages that will
drive the Elite card and explains its how its high specification
custom design whilst retaining exact compatibility with other
manufacturers designs gives it extreme flexibility in its
application and use. Finally, the perfect companion product for
the Elite card, the Professional 488 Device Driver development
environment is introduced.
Chapter 2, Installation Guide, shows you how to
configure and install the PC Elite board in one of the expansion
slots of your computer.
Chapter 2, The Technical Details, gives much
technical information on the Elite card. Whilst most users will
find this information be be unnecessary it is included to make
this manual as complete as possible, to allow you to cover every
eventuality.
The Cumulative Index covers the complete contents of
the manual.

CHAPTER 1
JOINING THE
Elite.
Introduction.____________
This chapter, Joining The Elite, discusses the features of
the Elite card, mentions programs and languages that will drive
the Elite card and explains its how its high specification custom
design whilst retaining exact compatibility with other
manufacturers designs gives it extreme flexibility in its
application and use.
Finally, the perfect companion product for the Elite card,
the Professional 488 Device Driver development environment is
introduced, it is a simple straight forward method for writing
both DOS and Windows programs. Pro-488 is available as a
stand alone product and is especially cost effective when bundled
with an Elite card or sold with a site licence.
An alternative software interface is available for the Elite
cards, our GPIB.COM driver. Our GPIB.COM has the same
calling mechanism and conventions as the widely available NI
product. Use GPIB.COM to maintain backwards compatibility
with existing applications.
What Machine Do You Need?__________________________
The PC Elite IEEE board and software will run on any
industry standard PC compatible including the 386, 486, DX2
and Pentium machines.
The PC Elite card will fit in the half size or full size slots
on your computer. You can use any version of DOS, Windows
or OS/2 in a DOS window.
Use our PS Elite/2 card with Micro Channel Architecture
bus computers.

Elite Features._____________
The PC ELITE card extracts the ultimate IEEE-488
performance from your Personal Computer. Using 4 custom
programmed logic chips we have taken PC based IEEE cards to
the limit. PC ELITE is a half size card that fits any PC or AT
slot. ELITE has the complete Controller, Listener and Talker
ability. True flexibility with a choice of 3 DMA channels, 10
interrupt lines and 7 I/O addresses.
Elite is based on the highly popular NEC 7210 GPIB
Controller chip, with 4 supporting custom programmed logic
chips controlling DMA, Interrupt sharing and address decode.
DMA data transfer rates exceed 300K bytes per second. The
ELITE card is as rugged as your PC.
Interrupt Selection._________________
The interrupt hardware allows jumper selection of one of
ten PC interrupt request lines, IRQ2 to IRQ7, IRQ10 to IRQ12
and IRQ15. The PC ELITE interrupt logic allows interrupt
sharing with third party cards. 13 interrupt sources are software
selectable providing ultra-flexible interrupt driven data transfers.
Direct Memory Access Channels._____________________________
The DMA hardware allows jumper selection of one of
three PC direct memory access channels for high speed data
transfers, DRQ1-3. The PC ELITE allows DMA interrupt sharing
with third party cards. DMA data transfer rate exceeds 300K
bytes per second.
Address Switches.________________
The DIP switches give the ELITE card the choice of 7 i/o
addresses 02E1H, 22E1H, 42E1H, 62E1H, 02B8H, 02C0H or
0300H. Elite is switchable between PC2 and PC2a compatibility.
Four ELITE cards provide access to 56 IEEE instruments.

Software Support.________________
The low cost and high performance of PC data acquisition
and analysis software packages combined with the ELITE card
makes them ideal as powerful and inexpensive instrument
controllers. Keep your technology advancing whilst your capital
investment stays low!
PC ELITE is fully compatible with Lotus Measure,
LabTech NoteBook, Asyst, DaDisp, DaDisp 488, Lab Windows,
Test Windows, Unkelscope, TBasic, True BASIC, National
Instruments IEEE software, IBM’s own GPIB software and all
software that supports the IBM GPIB card.
The ELITE card will run many of the above programs
without any modification.
Some of the above software eg Lab Windows requires the
use of a driver similar to the NI GPIB.COM drivers allow this.
We have written our own GPIB.COM style drivers in house.
The GPIB.COM driver for DOS is order code IE-736. The
GPIB.COM driver for WINDOWS is order code IE-747. More
details about GPIB.COM are given later in this chapter.
To run Elite under Windows or under DOS with
QuickBasic, Pascal, C, Assembler, Fortran etc use the
Professional 488 driver available from your dealer.
Introducing Professional 488.__________________________
The perfect partner for the ELITE card is Professional-488,
the best PC based IEEE software in the world! Pro-488 makes
the ELITE card an integral part of your PC, controlled by an
enhanced Hewlett Packard style syntax that runs all DOS
languages. Pro-488 makes ELITE compatible with Windows,
Visual Basic, Visual C++, Turbo Pascal for Windows, DOS
BASICA, GWBASIC, Complied BASIC, Quick Basic, Turbo
Basic, Turbo Pascal, Turbo C, Lattice C, Aztec C, Zortech C,
Prospero Pascal, Microsoft C Pascal, MS Fortran, MS
Assembler, FS Fortran and many more languages.
