Introduction

The TAMS HP-IB Interface is intended to add IEEE-488 capabilities to any computer
with a PCI bus.

The TAMS card takes full advantage of the PCI bus performance and delivers the
highest possible level of throughput.

The TAMS Interface supports both the 3.3v and 5v PCI specifications as a universal
card.

Thanks to HP’s software architecture and the design of the TAMS driver, once the
driver is loaded (which is done once at installation) the TAMS card can be used in any
application without requiring more computer overhead or any changes to code
developed for HP’s HP-IB cards.

Whether you are using HP-VEE, HPBASIC/UX, or programming in C with the TAMS I/O
Libraries, your code will now run at full performance without modification.

Hardware Warranty

All TAMS products use the highest quality components and are assembled to the
highest specifications.  Should a defect exist, or a failure occur, we apologize. Any
defective unit will be repaired or replaced immediately.

Please follow the instructions below for service response.

•     

  In the US please return it to TAMS. Please call or fax for return instructions.

      Internationally, please contact the local distributor for return instructions.

Any customer may contact TAMS, or return products directly to TAMS, but for
customers outside the US, this may cause a delay, which could be avoided by working
with the local distributor.

The complete hardware warranty information is in Appendix C.

For software warranty information see the Software License in Appendix B.
