| GPIB Controller / Interface Board | GPIB controllers are interface boards that control the flow of information on the bus. They instruct GPIB instruments to talk or to listen, and respond to service requests from devices in the GPIB network. A single GPIB controller can control up to 14 GPIB instruments. For applications that involve the control of 15 or more instruments, an expander is needed. | ||
| GPIB Converter | GPIB converters translate data from one bus type to another. For instance, an RS232-to-GPIB converter translates serial commands generated by the RS232 interface into GPIB commands. Many GPIB converters are also GPIB controllers. | ||
| GPIB Extender | GPIB extenders remove the restrictions on cable length specified in IEEE 488 (GPIB) while maintaining optimal performance (i.e., maximum data rate). IEEE 488 standards specify that the total cable length of a GPIB system cannot exceed 20 meters. By using a GPIB extender, however, it is possible to extend the cable length to several kilometers without lowering the overall performance of the system. | ||
| GPIB Expander / Isolator | GPIB expanders allow a system to interface with more than the maximum number of devices specified in the IEEE 488.1 standard. According to IEEE 488, a GPIB system cannot interface with more than 14 electrical devices. A GPIB expander increases the maximum number of devices that can be connected to the GPIB network. | ||
| GPIB Switch | GPIB switches enable several GPIB controllers to share one or more GPIB devices, or they allow a single GPIB controller to operate multiple GPIB bus systems. | ||

| GPIB Protocol Compatibility: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| IEEE 488.1 | Devices are compatible with ANSI/IEEE Standard 488-1975, more commonly known as IEEE 488.1. This standard defines the mechanical, electrical, and protocol specifications for the interconnection of programmable instruments. IEEE 488.1 also specifies that a GPIB network supports a maximum of 14 devices on the bus and a maximum data transfer rate of 1-MBps. | ||
| IEEE 488.2 | Devices are compatible with IEEE 488.2, an enhanced version of the original IEEE 488.1 Standard. Because IEEE 488.1 did not specify issues such as how data should be formatted, how the status of the bus should be reported, and how messages should be exchanged, Tektronix proposed a set of standard formats that became the basis of IEEE 488.2. Specifically, IEEE 488.2 standardizes data formats, status reporting, error handling, and controller commands. | ||
| HS488 | High Speed 488 (HS488) is a newer, faster protocol developed by National Instruments that accelerates data transfer rates up to 8-MBps using standard GPIB cables. HS488 is a superset of the original IEEE 488.1 standard implemented at the hardware level by an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). | ||
