Agilent 82351A PCI Express High-Performance GPIB Interface Card
New standard for high-speed internal
devices
High transfer rate for demanding test
applications
The 82351A offers fast data transmission for various demanding test
applications to ensure data is not lost or overwritten during transfers
to memory.
PCIe (PCI Express) is an evolutionary version of PCI that offers a
higher transfer rate across a low number of wires. It is also backward-
compatible with PCI software, so you don’t need to perform any code
re-configuration. PCIe’s powerful bus architecture allows bi-directional
data transmission, and the implementation of a new class of test
applications.
Features
• High transfer rate of 1.4 MB/s

x4 or x8 PCIe slots)
• 3.3 V signal level for lower power
consumption
• Compatibility with industry
standard PCIe
®
rev 1.0a and IEEE-
488
