Just the item as pictured, no cables, no documents, no software

The Scientific Solutions IEEE 488 cards implements the GPIB IEEE-488 standard.

The IEEE 488 installs inside your PC.

An IEEE standard cable attaches to a shielded IEEE488 standard D-shell connector on the card. The other end of the cable attaches to your GPIB peripheral (plotter, instrumentation, controller, etc.).

Programmed I/O can transfer data between the IEEE 488 card and the computer. Direct Memory Access (DMA) circuitry allows faster transfer of data.

An on-board oscillator guarantees accurate, high speed GPIB timing. Actual transfer rates depend on the DMA speed of the computer and the slowest GPIB Listener.

Hardware interrupts (IRQ) are possible for sources such as data received, data send, END message received, service request, etc.

For application developers, Scientific Solution recommends ROUTE488 software. Using this DOS TSR software, you can get high-speed data transfers on the GPIB without having to provide your own customized assembly language programming.

The IEEE488 cards have selectable I/O address, DMA channel and IRQ. Using the IEEE 488 standard protocols, the IEEE 488 Interface can connect your computer to over 10,000 different types of instruments, supporting up to 15 simultaneously.

Multiple IEEE 488 cards can be put into a single PC to support more simultaneous instruments.
