Card effects PCI Bus high speed analogue output
For industrial PCI Bus applications where high-speed, continuous analogue output or real-time waveform functions are required, an advanced analogue output card is effective.
Furthermore, driver support is provided for a wide range of libraries used by popular programming languages such as, Visual C++, Borland C++ Builder,LabWindows/CVI, Visual Basic, Delphi and LabVIEW.
Commands similar to those used by National Instruments have been provided to help programmers that are familiar with LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
With two driver control modes (controller mode and slave mode) the PCI-1670 can perform the talker, listener and controller functions required by IEEE 488.2.
The card's high performance makes it possible to connect up to 15 GPIB instruments, so PCI-1670 is especially suitable for instrument measurement and control.
Powerful testing features and a configuration tool allows users to easily access and control instruments.
PCI-1670 is available for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP and MS-DOS, with full support for drivers and libraries.
To facilitate driver development, the PCI-1670 comes with sample drivers programmed in: Visual C++, Borland C++ Builder,LabWindows/CVI, Visual Basic, Delphi and LabVIEW.
PCI-1670 has a comprehensive supplementary controller driver database, and you can use an interactive GPIB interface to control devices directly without any need of programming.
Compatible with National Instrument's PCI-GPIB card, the PCI-1670 represents a cost-effective alternative for LabVIEW users that utilize GPIB applications. Request a free brochure from Advantech (UK) ...
