National Instruments GPIB-1014

The National Instruments GPIB-1014 is a high-performance GPIB interface tailored for VMEbus systems, facilitating seamless communication between the GPIB and VMEbus architectures. Operating under the IEEE-488 standard, this interface allows personal computers to function as controllers, talkers, or listeners in automated systems. The GPIB-1014 is available in two variants: GPIB-1014-1 (part number 776059-01), which features a GPIB port located on the front, and GPIB-1014-2 (part number 776060-01), which does not include this port. With a data transfer rate exceeding 500 kbytes/s and a power requirement of +5 VDC (1.6 A typical, 2.0 A maximum), the GPIB-1014 is designed for easy installation within a VMEbus backplane. Users can configure various parameters—including access mode, base address, and DMA address modifier—prior to installation, leveraging software-selectable options for added convenience. The interface connects to the VMEbus using P1 and P2 connectors, ensuring compatibility. Comprehensive driver support is provided through the ESP-488 software. The unit measures 6.3 by 9.2 inches in a 6U format and is backed by a 2-3 year warranty. For additional information and manuals, users can access resources available for download.
