Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter briefly describes the GPIB-1014 series interface boards and the
NI -488M software, and lists the contents of your NI-488M kit and optional
equipment.
The GPIB-1014 series boards are full-function IEEE 488 interfaces for
systems that have a VMEbus and that run the Motorola UNIX operating
system. The interface boards included in this series are the GPIB-1014,
GPIB-1014D, GPIB-1014P, and GPIB-1014DP.
The GPIB-1014 uses DMA transfers to achieve data transfer rates up to
500 kbytes/sec. The GPIB-1014D also uses DMA transfers and has two
independent GPIB ports.
The GPIB-1014P controls IEEE 488 compatible instruments using
programmed I/O . The GPIB-1014DP also uses programmed I/O and has
two independent GPIB ports.
