Command transfers Control-line transition Handshake-line transition > Parallel-poll response In addition, you can configure the analyzer application to continually reuse the capture buffer (treat it as a circular buffer) until you stop the capture operation. You can configure the analyzer application to participate in the IEEE 488.1 three-wire handshake while capturing. For nonintrusive captures, you can configure the analyzer application not to participate in the IEEE 488.1 three- wire handshake while capturing. Besides capturing the standard IEEE 488.1 three-wire handshake, the analyzer application can capture high-speed HS488 data transfers. If desired, you can configure the analyzer application to record timestamps with each captured event. Recorded timestamps have a 50 ns resolution. Sometimes you may want to focus a capture operation on a specific GPIB pattern that occurs at some unknown time. With the analyzer application, you can define a GPIB trigger condition and select the number of events to record Analyzer Hardware Monitor and control all GPIB lines analysis and benchmarkingSelective captured event printing Capture GPIB events including event timestampingLarge FIFO for high-speed captures Software can run concurrently with GPIB applications Hardware triggering Controller Variable handshake rate IEEE 488.2 and HS488 compatible Capture GPIB handshake Jumperless, software configurable line transitions Plug-and-play compatible Analyzer Software Operating Systems Easy-to-use graphical application Windows Vista (32- and 64-bit)/XP/2000 Selective GPIB event capture Several windows for capture buffer Driver Software (included) and capture displaySeveral data display formats NI-488.2 GPIB analyzer Captured data searchable for specified GPIB pattern Capture event markers for easy > The NI PCI-GPIB+, PCIe-GPIB+, and PCIe-GPIB+/LP devices include a complete GPIB analyzer and GPIB controller on a single device. Compatible with HS488, these devices are lower-cost alternatives to purchasing two separate products for analyzer and controller functionality. You can use them to troubleshoot IEEE 488 software and hardware problems or control GPIB instruments. You can trigger on bus patterns or specific GPIB events and benchmark system performance with the built-in timestamping capabilities. > The GPIB analyzer software displays the current state of the GPIB at all times. The Bus Monitor window shows the real-time state of each of the 16 GPIB data and control lines. It displays the state of the eight data lines in ASCII, hexadecimal, and binary formats and the state of the eight control lines in the binary format. The window displays the binary format as a series of LEDs, one for each GPIB line represented. Each GPIB data and control line has a corresponding toggle switch you can use to assert one or more of these lines at any time. Using these switches, you can exercise simple control over the GPIB, such as stepping through the states of the source or acceptor handshake. The Accept Byte button performs a single acceptor handshake sequence. The GPIB analyzer software offers several options for capturing and analyzing activity on the GPIB. You enable the capture by using the Capture button in the Action window. When the analyzer is capturing, it continually samples the GPIB and records the occurrence of user-specified GPIB events. You can configure the analyzer application to record captured information for any combination of the following GPIB events:Data transfers >

before and after the specified GPIB trigger condition. You start a triggering capture using the Capture & Trigger button in the Action window. The GPIB analyzer software has a complete set of tools for viewing and interpreting captured GPIB information. Using the Capture Display window, you can monitor an in-progress capture operation or view the captured information after capture stops. Additionally, you can load and view previously saved capture information for further review and analysis. The Capture Display window shows captured information in ASCII, hexadecimal, and binary formats,...
