National Instruments PCMCIA-GPIB IEEE 488 Interface PC Card National Instruments PCMCIA-GPIB Interface The National Instruments PCMCIA-GPIB is a high-performance IEEE 488 interface for laptop and notebook computers with PCMCIA (PC Card) slots. You can use the NI PCMCIA-GPIB with Intel-based PCs as well as Macintosh computers, such as the PowerBook G4. Retail price of this card is $540. Support information, drivers and software for this card can be obtained National Instruments's web site. The National Instruments PCMCIA-GPIB is a low-cost, high-performance IEEE 488 interface for computers with PC card (PCMCIA) slots, such as laptop and notebook computers. The PCMCIA-GPIB, a Type II PCMCIA card, is compliant with PCMCIA PC Card Standard Version 2.1 and above. The PCMCIA-GPIB is also compatible with the Plug and Play standard. The system automatically configures the PCMCIA-GPIB on startup or when you insert the card. The PCMCIA-GPIB uses the TNT4882C ASIC, which combines the circuitry of theNAT4882 ASIC, the Turbo488 performance-enhancing ASIC, and GPIB transceivers tocreate a single-chip IEEE 488.2 Talker/Listener/Controller interface. The TNT4882Calso implements the HS488 high-speed protocol, which increases the maximum data transfer rate of the PCMCIA-GPIB to 2.1 Mbytes/s. The PCMCIA-GPIB is fully compatible with other IEEE 488 devices. You can connect the PCMCIA-GPIB with up to 14 devices. If you want to use more than 14 devices, youcan order a bus extender or expander from National Instruments. Dropped or otherwise abused your OmniBook?
