The National Instruments PCI-GPIB is a plug-and-play IEEE 488 interface for PCs and workstations with PCI expansion slots. It uses the PCI-MITE and TNT family ASICs to provide a maximum-performance IEEE 488.2 interface for the PCI bus. The board features an onboard bus master DMA controller to prevent microprocessor interruptions during data transfer. It supports data transfer rates of more than 1.5 MB/s using the IEEE 488.1 3-wire interlocked handshake and up to 7.7 MB/s using the high-speed IEEE 488.1 non-interlocked handshake (HS488). The PCI-GPIB/LP variant is a low-profile version. Various part numbers exist for different OS support (e.g., Windows, Linux) and profiles (e.g., 778686-01, 778032-01, 783007-01).
