FCC/DOC Radio Frequency Interference Compliance

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict

accordance with the instructions in this manual, may cause interference to radio and television

reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with (1) the limits for a Class B

computing device, in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of U.S. Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) Rules, and (2) the limits for radio noise emissions from

digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of

Communication (DOC). These regulations are designed to provide reasonable protection against

interference from the equipment to radio and television reception in commercial areas.

There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. However, the

chances of interference are much less if the equipment is used according to this instruction manual.

If the equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined

by turning the equipment on and off, one or more of the following suggestions may reduce or

eliminate the problem.

• Operate the equipment and the receiver on different branches of your AC electrical system.

• Move the equipment away from the receiver with which it is interfering.

• Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver.

• Reorient the receiver's antenna.

• Be sure that the equipment is plugged into a grounded outlet and that the grounding has not

been defeated with a cheater plug.

If necessary, consult National Instruments or an experienced radio/television technician for

additional suggestions. The following booklet prepared by the FCC may also be helpful: How to

Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the U.S.

Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock Number 004-000-00345-4.

Section One

Introduction

The National Instruments GPIB-LPT is a high-performance talk-only interface that converts data

sent to a standard parallel port into an IEEE-488 General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) format for

use with IEEE-488 printers and plotters. The GPIB-LPT looks like a standard parallel port for the

IBM PC operating system and software. It can be used to communicate with GPIB printers and

plotters with PC application programs, such as AutoCAD, that use parallel ports for printer and

plotter output.

Features

The GPIB-LPT has the following hardware features:

• emulates the standard PC parallel printer interface so that no additional software is needed

• can be configured as either LPT1 (PRN), LPT2, or LPT3

• compatible with any software using the parallel ports on the IBM PC compatibles

• small dimensions so that it fits into any slot of a personal computer

• transparent addressing of unaddressed listeners

• interrupt synchronization circuitry which holds off interrupts until the GPIB handshake is

complete

• choice of REN mode which operates an instrument in the remote mode

• choice of SRQ enable which monitors of asynchronous service requests

• choice of IFC mode which sends an interface clear when the computer is powered on
