PCI-GPIB Specifications

Definitions

Warranted specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty.

Characteristics describe values that are relevant to the use of the model under stated operating conditions but are not covered by the model warranty.

  • Typical specifications describe the performance met by a majority of models.
  • Nominal specifications describe an attribute that is based on design, conformance testing, or supplemental testing.

Specifications are Typical unless otherwise noted.

1 PCI-GPIB boards manufactured before 2003 use the TNT4882C controller. The assembly number printed on these boards is 183617x-01.

2 A later revision of PCI-GPIB boards uses the TNT5004 controller. The assembly number printed on these boards is 188513x-01.

3 PCI-GPIB/LP is a low-profile PCI-GPIB board designed to fit in low-profile machines. It uses a special cable to convert between the micro-DSub connector of the board and the GPIB connector.
