The new PCI-1670 card from Advantech is designed to cut costs for instrument makers and researchers that need high-performance GPIB cards.
The new PCI-1670 card from Advantech is designed to cut costs for instrument makers and researchers that need high-performance GPIB cards.
Complementing its line of GPIB interface boards, Advantech has launched the PCI-1670 with a PCI 2.1 bus specification that is fully compatible with IEEE488.1 and 488.2.
Furthermore, driver support is provided for a wide range of libraries used by popular programming languages such as, Visual C++, Borland C++ Builder, LabWindows/CVI, Visual Basic, Delphi and LabView.
Commands similar to those used by National Instruments have been provided to help programmers that are familiar with LabView and LabWindows/CVI.
With two driver-control modes (controller mode and slave mode) the PCI-1670 can perform the talker, listener and controller functions required by IEEE488.2.
The card's high performance makes it possible to connect up to 15 GPIB instruments, and so the PCI-1670 is especially suitable for instrument measurement and control.
Powerful testing features and a configuration tool allows users to easily access and control instruments.
The PCI-1670 is available for Windows 95/98/NT/Me/2000/XP and MS-DOS, with full support for drivers and libraries.
To facilitate driver development, the PCI-1670 comes with sample drivers programmed in: Visual C++, Borland C++ Builder, LabWindows/CVI, Visual Basic, Delphi and LabView.
The PCI-1670 has a comprehensive supplementary controller driver database, and an interactive GPIB interface to control devices directly without any need of programming.
Compatible with National Instrument's PCI-GPIB card, the PCI-1670 represents a cost-effective alternative for LabView users that use GPIB applications.
