What Are The Differences Between VME-GPIB and GPIB-1014? Hardware: GPIB>>Plug-in Controllers>>VME-GPIB
Problem: I am interested in purchasing an GPIB interface for the VME Bus and found that there are VME-GPIB and GPIB-1014 series, what are the differences between them and which one do I need? Solution: The VME-GPIB and GPIB-1014 both implement the full range of GPIB controller functions. Both solutions handle normal and extended talker and listener, serial and parallel poll, service request, and remote programming functions. The VME-GPIB has two GPIB ports on the front panel and support high-performance DMA transfers up to 2MB/s for 488.1 and 6.5 MB/s for HS488. The GPIB-1014 series supports DMA transfers up to 500 KB/s. The VME-GPIB only comes with the 6U form factor and GPIB-1014 series include both 6U and 3U boards. Besides those differences, the main difference is in the software that shipped with those two boards. The VME-GPIB ships with NI-488DDK for VME so one can develop applications for any operating system. The GPIB-1014 series come with the ESP-488 C Source Code which also allows you develop applications for different operating systems with less functionality than the NI-488DDK. For more information about the differences between these two software packages, please refer to related link below.
