Next button until you see the Select Features win-

dow, where you can choose the features to install.

Click on each feature for a brief description. All fea-

tures are installed by default, but you can choose not

to install support for the programming feaures you

will not use. After you select your features and com-

plete the installation, all necessary files will be in

the C:\Program Files\GPIB-488 directory.

A dialog box will prompt you to reboot the system

when you finish the installation. Click the Yes button

to reboot.

USB Devices

Follow these steps to install the hardware:

Remove the unit from its protective packaging. Save

the anti-static bubble wrap.

Before connecting the USB card to your GPIB

instruments, ensure that the instruments and PC are

at the same ground potential. Failure to do so could

damage the instruments, PC, or USB card.

Plug the USB card into an available USB port.

USB devices are plug and play. These devices con-

figure automatically. There is no need to power

cycle your PC.

Step 2. Install the Hardware

2 Startup Manual

PCI Devices

Follow these steps to install the hardware:

Handle the board only by the edges. Static electric dis-

charge can damage the integrated circuits on the board.

Remove the interface board from its protective packag-

ing by grasping the metal rear panel. Save the anti-static

bubble package.

• Power off the computer.

• Unplug the power cord.

• Remove the computer cover.

• Install the board in any available slot.

• Use the screw to attach the rear panel bracket to the

computer case.

• Reinstall the computer cover.

• Plug in the computer and power it on.

For PCI cards in a plug-and-play operating system, the

card should configure automatically if you have

installed the software first. If you see a message about

an unrecognized board and a prompt for a disk, insert

the software CD as instructed by the operating system.

Follow these steps to test the interface:

• Go to Start>Programs>GPIB-488 and select GPIB

Diagnostic to run the hardware test program. You

can also execute the test program directly by run-

ning GPIBDiagnostic.exe in the C:\Program

Files\GPIB-488\utilities directory.

• This program tests and reports on the status of your

IEEE 488 board(s).

• Go to Start>Programs>GPIB-488 and select GPIB

Interactive Control to run the interactive pro-

gram, which allows you to communicate with the

device. You can also execute the test program

directly by running GPIBInteractiveCon-

trol.exe in the C:\Program Files\GPIB-488\util-

ities directory.

• At the prompt, type ibfind gpib0. You should see the

prompt change to gpib0.

• Type ibdev and enter the parameters based on your

device settings.

• The prompt should now have changed to User_>:.

• Type ibwrt "*idn?" and you should see a status of

0100, CMPL and a count of 5, indicating the data

was sent to the device successfully.

• Type ibrd 1000 and press <Enter>. You should see

the device identification string from the device

indicating that communication was successful.

Note 1: "*idn?" is for 488.2 devices only. For the

devices that support only 488.1, we suggest to use

"GPIBInteractiveControl.exe" to proceed with the tests.

Note 2: For more detail about using IEEE-488 com-

mands, please refer to the "GPIBProgrammingRefer-

enceManual.pdf".

Writing Custom Programs

To use your interface for custom applications, you need

to write specialized software. We have made this easy

by providing a simple set of high-level routines you can

use with all popular programming languages.

The GPIB software includes the 488.1 library, the 488.2

library, and a set of utility programs.

The 488.1 library consists of all of the functions and

subroutines that begin with the letters “ib”. The 488.1

library routines refer to devices on the GPIB bus by

their device names and handles rather than by their

GPIB addresses.

The 488.2 library consists of all the routines that do not

begin with the letters “ib”. The 488.2 library routines

refer to devices on the GPIB bus by their GPIB

addresses rather than by their names or handles.

For more information, refer to the GPIB Programming

Reference Manual, available in the root directory on

your software CD in Adobe Portable Document Format

(PDF).

keyboard, sections of code, programming examples, and syntax examples.

This font is also used for the proper names of disk drives, paths, directories,

programs, subprograms, subroutines, device names, functions, operations,

variables, filenames, and extensions.

GPIB terms used within this manual are:

GPIB General Purpose Interface Bus

System controller The system controller has the unique ability to retrieve active control of the

bus or to enable devices to be remotely programmed. It takes control of the

bus by issuing an IFC (Interface Clear) message for at least 200 µsec. It also

can put devices into the remote state by asserting the REN (Remote Enable)

line.

There is always one system controller in a GPIB system. The system

controller is designated at system initialization either through the use of

hardware switches or by some type of configuration software, and is not

changed. The system controller can be the same controller as the one which

is the current active controller or an entirely different one. Note that if a

controller is both a system controller and the active controller and it passes

control to another controller, the system controller capability is not passed

along with it.

Active controller The active controller is the controller which has the ability to mediate all

communications which occur over the bus. In other words, the active

controller designates (addresses) which device is to talk and which devices

are to listen. The active controller is also capable of relinquishing its

position as active controller and designating another controller to become

the active controller.

Device A device is any IEEE-488 instrument which is not a system controller or

active controller. It can be idle or act as a talker and/or listener when

addressed or unaddressed by the active controller.

Listener A listener is any device which is able to receive data when properly

addressed. There can be up to 14 active listeners on the bus concurrently.

Some devices can also be a talker or controller; however, only one of these

functions can be performed at a time.

Talker A talker is a device which can transmit data over the bus when properly

addressed. Only one device can transmit at a time. Some devices can also

be a listener or controller; however, only one of these functions can be

performed at a time.
