ICS GPIB Controller Card 488-PC2
ISA Bus-to-GPIB Controller Card for PC
● Converts any ISA bus PC into a GPIB Controller. Works in virtually all PCs.
● Fast data transfer rate >300 kbytes/second. Fast throughput.
● DLLs for Windows 3.1, 95, and 98 programs support 16 and 32 bit applications. 488.2 support for all MS Windows programming languages.
● IEEE 488.2 linkable libraries for Quick Basic, MS Visual Basic for DOS, Borland C/C++ and Microsoft C/C++. 488.2 support for the most popular DOS languages.
● Includes Interactive Keyboard programs fr driving GPIB devices. Let's you try out commands and control instruments without writing a program.
● Functions as System Controller, Controller-in-charge or as a GPIB device. Use the GPIB bus to transfer data to other PCs.
● Replaces most generic ISA 7210 cards and PC2a cards. Use with existing programs.
ICS GPIB Controller Card 488-PC2 is an enhanced IEEE 488 Bus Interface Card that converts any PC with an ISA bus into a full-function IEEE 488.2 BUs Controller. The ICS GPIB Controller Card 488-PC2 can also function as an IEEE 488 interface that lets you use your personal computer as a bus device. The ICS GPIB Controller Card 488-PC2 performs all of the basic IEEE 488.1 functions such as talker, listener and system controller or Controller-in-charge.
