Plugging it The compact NI GPIB-USB-HS transforms any computer with a USB into a Hi-Speed USB port provides industry-leading GPIB performance port into a full-function, IEEE 488.2 controller that can control up to 14 using both the standard and high-speed IEEE 488.1 handshake. programmable GPIB instruments. The small size and light weight of this Using a TNT family talker/listener/controller IEEE 488.2 ASIC, the controller make it ideal for portable applications using a laptop computer GPIB-USB-HS implements the full range of GPIB controller functions, or other applications in which the computer has no available internal I/O including those required and recommended by IEEE 488.2. It also slots. The GPIB-USB-HS works with Windows Vista/XP/2000/Me/98, implements normal and extended talker and listener, serial and parallel Mac OS X, and Linux computers with a USB port. polling, service request, and pass/receive control functions. Drawing This controller is easy to install and use because there are no external power directly from the USB port, the GPIB-USB-HS requires no external DIP switches and you do not need to restart your computer for the power input. system to recognize your IEEE 488.2 interface. It is a plug-and-play With NI-488.2, you get a robust driver with additional utilities and interface that the OS automatically recognizes and configures as soon wizards that help you troubleshoot your applications and decrease your as you physically attach it to the USB port on your computer. With the development time (see Figure 2). Furthermore, you maintain compatibility GPIB-USB-HS, you can get up and running quickly, so you can focus on with existing systems. Applications previously written for other National developing your instrument control applications. Instruments GPIB controllers can run unmodified with the GPIB-USB-HS. USB Port Connecting the GPIB-USB-HS to Your Instruments This controller does not require a GPIB cable to connect to your instruments. You can attach it directly to the GPIB port on your instrument and then connect the USB cable to the USB port on your computer. If you GPIB-USB-HS GPIB Instrument with USB Cable have multiple instruments in a daisy-chain or star configuration, attach Included any cables that connect to the other instruments first, and then Figure 1. Easily connect your GPIB instruments to the USB port of your computer. piggyback the GPIB-USB-HS as the last connector in the stack. GPIB Controller for Hi-Speed USB A.
