Overview
The National Instruments GPIB-PCII/IIA is a full-function,low-cost
IEEE 488 interface for PCs with ISA slots. The NI GPIB-PCII/IIA is
compatible with all NEC µPD7210-based GPIB-PCII and GPIB-PCIIA
boards, as well as interface boards that use the TI TMS 9914A
controller chip.The board can also share interrupts when used in the
GPIB-PCIIA mode.
The NAT4882 chip performs the basic IEEE 488 Talker, Listener,
and Controller functions, as well as all the remaining Controller
functions required by IEEE 488.2. By integrating the complete PC

bus interface into the NAT4882,the GPIB-PCII/IIA has unsurpassed
flexibility and reliability. The NAT4882 also significantly increases
the throughput of the associated NI-488.2 by performing operations
in hardware that were previously possible only in software.
Hardware Options
With DIP switches,you can select either GPIB-PCII or GPIB-PCIIA
compatibility, NEC µPD7210 or TI TMS9914A mode of operation,
and the base I/O address to which the board responds.
