High-performance & High-speead GPIB Interface Board(Low Profile Size) for PCI Express GPIB-F-LPE
2Pages

Ver.1.10 PCI Express-compliant High speed GPIB (Low Profile) GPIB-F-LPE, GPIB-FL-LPE This product is a PCI Express bus-compatible interface board with support for bus master operation and which complies with IEEE-488.1 and IEEE-488.2. This product can be used in a PC to control communications with devices that support the GPIB interface and read GPIB bus line data. The GPIB-F-LPE can also analyze the signal on the GPIB bus using the built-in memory (GPIB bus analyzer function). This product supports a low-profile size slot and, if replaced with the supplied bracket, supports a standard size slot, too. You can use the supplied driver library to develop application software using any programming language that supports the Win32 API routines (such as Visual Basic or Visual C++), or using LabVIEW. Model Name GPIB-F-LPE High speed Multi function GPIB GPIB-FL-LPE High speed GPIB Bus analyzer function Ο None * Specifications, color and design of the products are subject to change without notice. Features Data transfer speed 1.5Mbyte/sec max. The maximum data transfer speed for communications is 1.5Mbyte/sec. Supports bus master operation The bus master data transfer function enables large quantities of data to be transferred between the board and PC without loading the CPU. Internal 2Kbyte FIFO buffers for send and receive The board has separate 2Kbyte FIFO buffers for sending and receiving data, allowing both small and large volumes of data to be transferred at high speed. Interface messages also use a FIFO to enable high-speed transmission. Built-in GPIB bus analyzer function [only GPIB-F-LPE] The board features a bus analyzer function. This not only allows the signals on the GPIB bus to analyzed, but also permits signal analysis to be performed while this product is performing GPIB communications Built-in SPAS event function In addition to the functions of the earlier GPIB controller (μPD7210), the board also supports the SPAS event generated when a serial poll occurs. This gives you a high level of flexibility in constructing your system. Internal high-precision timer The board includes a high-precision application timer to allow accurate time monitoring to be performed under Windows. Long term availability As the board uses a high-speed GPIB controller developed by CONTEC (compatible with the μPD7210 register), reliable long term availability is ensured. Diagnosis program A diagnosis program is supplied to support system development. The diagnostic program can be used to check hardware operation (interrupts and I/O addresses) and to perform simple communication tests with connected devices. GPIB-F-LPE, GPIB-FL-LPE Other You can read the data from the application using all control lines (with the latch function) and data lines. [Data lines are only supported on the GPIB-F-LPE.] Supports both Low Profile size slots and standard size slots (use the supplied bracket as an adaptor).

Board dimensions 121.69(L) 67.90(H) Complies with the IEEE-488.2 standard As the board complies with the IEEE-488.2 standard, you can control any external device that supports this standard. [mm] The standard outside dimension (L) is the distance from the end of the board to the outer surface of the slot cover. 1

Ver.1.10 Support Software NOTE: This hardware does not support Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0/3.51. Driver Library API-PAC(W32) (Bundled) API-PAC(W32) is the library software that provides the commands for CONTEC hardware products in the form of Windows standard Win32 API functions (DLL). It makes it easy to create high-speed application software taking advantage of the CONTEC hardware using various programming languages that support Win32 API functions, such as Visual Basic and Visual C++. It can also be used by the installed diagnosis program to check hardware operations. See...
