Additional Functions
Line monitor function
The board can read the current status of all control lines and handshake lines (IFC, ATN, SRQ, REN,
EOI, DAV, NRFD, NDAC). It can also read latch data from the IFC line.
GPIB (PCI) can read the latch data on all control lines and the current status of the data line (DIO 1-8).

Communication using FIFO memory (Only GP-IB(PCI))
The board can use on-board FIFO memory for communication. As the board controls this form of
communication, it can be performed at high speed irrelevant to the PC’s CPU speed.
Note, however, that the actual communication speed is set to the speed of the slowest device in
compliance with the GPIB standard.
