Agilent 82350B PCI High-Performance GPIB Interface for Windows
®
This traditional GPIB connection still
offers the highest throughput
High performance for manufacturing test
applications
The 82350B is Agilent’s highest-performance GPIB interface. With a
direct PCI computer connection, transaction overhead is minimized for
the best overall performance.
The 82350B card de-couples GPIB transfers from PCI bus transfers.
Buffering provides I/O and system performance that is superior to direct
memory access (DMA). The hardware is software configurable and com-
patible with the plug-and-play standard for easy hardware installation.
The GPIB interface card plugs into a 5 volt PCI slot in the backplane of
your PC.
For programming capability you have access with the latest version of
IO Libraries suite, to program in all standard development environments.
Agilent’s IO Libraries Suite is easy to use and works with virtually any
vendor’s instrument or T&M program-
ming software application. It is also able
to automatically configure to work with
NI-488.2 and Agilent’s or NI’s VISA, VISA
COM. Even if you use NI’s IO software,
Agilent IO Libraries Suite will configure
automatically so you don’t have to be
concerned with compatibility issues.
