PCL-848A – IEEE-488 CONTROLLER

277,00  Excl. VAT

  • General Information PCL-848A

  • Introduction to the Product PCL-848A

The PCL-848A/B IPSE-488 interface card is a valuable addition to your PC that allows you to communicate with over 2000 products, made by over 200 manufacturers, in over 14 countries. The IEEE- 488-1978 standard that this IEEE-488 card implements is the most widely used international standard for information transfer between computer and electronic instruments. There are numerous publications and articles that may be used in conjunction with this manual to assist you to understand the interface standard. The IEEE reference document may be ordered by writing to the IEEE Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA.

 

The IEEE-488 interface card provides the hardware (electrical and mechanical) and software required for you to interface your PC to the IEEE-488 bus. The software is packaged in read-only-memory (firmware) to provide versatile and easy-to-use IEEE-488 function extensions for your current programming language or operating system. Firmware cannot be accidentally erased or overwritten and it is always available for use by application programs. This manual provided a programming reference (Section 3.) and programming techniques (Section 4. and 5.) to assist you in writing your own application programs.

The key features of this interface card include (PCL-848A) :

Operating in one of the two modes (switch selectable).

Mode A : Compatible with PCL-748 and use the on-board firmware driver.

Mode N : Software compatible with National Instrument PC-II and IBM-PC GP-IB adaptor and use the driver and software developed for them.

  • Implementation of the entire IEEE-488 PCL-848A
  • Powerful and  easy-to-use  software  command set. Fewer arguments and simple initialization.
  • Software driver  is in on-board firmware. Requires no additional disk operation when using BASIC or Turbo Pascal.
  • On-board RAM for working space. No system memory space is needed for the IEEE-488 interface operation.
  • Built-in 16 bit digital output port provides a convenient and economical solution for signal switching and digital control applications. The D/O port is compatible with the daughter boards: PCLD-785 Relay Output Board, PCLD-786 SSR & Relay Driver Board and PCL—789 Amplifier & Multiplexer Board.
  •  BASICA, BASIC compiler and Quick—BASIC are supported as
    standard languages. C and Pascal language support packages
    can he ordered separately as PCL-748—C and PCL—748-P.
  •  The software can change the PC printer port to an IEEE-438
    device. The PrtSc (print screen} key, all print statements,
    word processing and spreadsheet programs that use printer
    driver in BIOS can use IEEE—488 printers.
  •  High speed direct memory access (DMA) with the ability to
    handle 64K byte arrays.

  •  Programmable system controller, active controller or device
    functions.
  •  All device functions, addresses, interrupt conditions, and
    parallel poll responses are programmable.
  •  Automatic initialization. Interface parameters are set to
    default when starting using the interface. Parameters can
    still be changed by calling the initialization routine.
  •  DIP switch selectable wait states (0/2/4/6 wait states) to
    ensure the compatibility to very high speed PC’s.
  •  PCL—84BA offers the connectors of the IEEE—4BB standard
    while PCL—BéBB uses the 25 pin D type connectors for the
    IEC-625 standard.
  •  Each device on the IEBE—488 bus can be assigned with its own
    terminator.
