National Instruments GPIB-1014DP GPIB Interface for VMEbus

The GPIB-1014DP is best described as a double height circuit board that helps in interfacing VMEbus to IEEE-488. The creator of the interface is National Instruments. The NI GPIB-1014DP provides two independent and fully functional GPIB parts. This GPIB Interface provides a way to implement VMEbus tests and measurement systems by utilizing the standard interconnecting cables. The part number of the GPIB-1014D is 776093-01 for convenient ordering and identification.

The NI GPIB-1014DP also serves as a bus translator. The GPIB-1014DP is used to translate and convert messages and signals associated with VMEbus to respective GPIB interface messages and signals. The ports on this GPIB Interface can be used for implementing GPIB interface functions for communication with other GPIB devices, as well as with central processor and memory.

If utilized with the IEEE-488 bus, this interface can achieve a transfer rate of 80 kbytes/s. A power supply of 5 VDC is a suitable power option for the NI GPIB-1014DP. The current requirement for this device varies from 1.1 A typical to 2.0 A maximum. The standard input/output 24 pin connector of the IEEE-488 standard is used for the physical connectivity of this device. This GPIB Interface is a suitable option when the user needs to utilize a GPIB controller. The device also comes with the option to use the interface as a talker or as a listener. The application of the NI GPIB-1014DP interface as a controller, listener, or talker is programmable as per the user’s convenience. The GPIB-1014DP offers the option of complete listener capabilities, as well as an extended capabilities option.
