The National Instruments GPIB controllers for PCI and PXI combine high-performance hardware with a complete suite of development tools to get your applications up and running fast. The National Instruments PCI-MITE and TNT family ASICs make the PCI-GPIB a maximum-performance IEEE 488.2 interface for the PCI bus. The PCI-MITE, a complete PCI interface, is compliant with PCI Specification 2.1. The hardware is completely software configurable and compatible with the Plug and Play standard for easy hardware installation. The TNT chip performs the basic IEEE 488 Talker, Listener, and Controller functions required by all versions of IEEE 488, including IEEE 488.2. The PCI-GPIB can sustain data transfer rates of more than 1.5 Mbytes/s using the IEEE 488.1 3-wire interlocked handshake. The PCI-GPIB also implements the high-speed IEEE 488.1 non-interlocked handshake (HS488) for benchmarked data transfers at more than 7.7 Mbytes/s

   The PCI-GPIB/LP is a low-profile IEEE 488 interface for computers that accept boards of this size. The PCI-GPIB/LP is functionally equivalent to the high-performance PCI-GPIB and maintains compatibility for both 3.3 V and 5 V PCI slots.
