Agilent 82350B High-Performance PCI GPIB Interface Card
Features
• PCI IEEE-488 interface for PCs
• Transfer rates up to 900 KB/s
• Dual processor support on the
latest Windows operating system
Best for
• Maximum GPIB throughput for all
configurations
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 connectivity and
system performance that is superior
to direct memory access (DMA). The
hardware is software-configurable
and compatible 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.
