● Adds full GPIB Bus controller capability to any computer with a serial port. Easiest way to add GPIB bus control capability to a serial port. ● Automatic DMA provides high speed GPIB data transfer >600 K bytes/sec. Fast GPIB-to-Serial buffer. ● Uses HP BASIC style commands to control instruments. The worlds most familiar GPIB/HP-IB control language. ● Includes IEEE 488.2 Command Protocols. Simplifies GPIB programs. ● Includes National Instruments CT command set. Can be used to replace or upgrade CT controllers. ● Reverse G mode converts the 4895 into a GPIB-to-Serial interface. Two functions in one unit. ● Includes ICS's interactive M95_kybd Control Program. Control instruments without having to write a program.
The ICS Serial to GPIB Controller 4895 adds a complete IEEE 488.2 Bus Controller capability to any PC or computer with a RS-232/RS-422 or RS-485 serial interface. By connecting the ICS Serial to GPIB Controller 4895 to your computer's serial COM port, it enables any computer to control IEEE 488/GPIB or HP-IB bus instruments at distances from a few feet up to 1,200 feet from the computer. The normal use of the ICS Serial to GPIB Controller 4895 is in the S-Mode where the 4895 accepts high level commands over the serial link to control and operate GPIB devices. Response data from the GPIB devices is quickly inputted into the ICS Serial to GPIB Controller 4895's 192 Kbyte buffer and then returned over the serial link to the host computer. Applications include controlling local or remote GPIB instruments without the need for GPIB bus extenders.
Emulates all serial commands used in NI-CT S mode except for IBCL function. Emulates NI-CV G mode.
