Introduction
The TAMS 61488/64487/64488/65488 GPIB Interfaces are intended to add IEEE-488
capabilities to any computer with PCI or PCI-Express sockets. The 64487 and 64488 cards
provide a single GPIB bus, and differ only in their mounting bracket (low-profile or
standard). The 65488 is similar to the 64488, but provides two independent GPIB busses.
It is available with a standard height bracket only. The TAMS 61488 provides a single
GPIB bus, with a 32 bit, 33 MHz PCI 3.0 implementation. The other TAMS Interfaces are
one-lane PCI-Express implementations that can be used in sockets from 1X to 16X that
support PCI-Express standards 1.0a, 1.1, or 2.0.
The TAMS cards take full advantage of the PCI and PCI-Express bus performance and
deliver the highest possible level of throughput.
Whether you are using HP-VEE, BASIC for Windows, or programming in C with the SICL
library, your code will now run at full performance without modification.
