GPIB History
(General Purpose Interface Bus)

GPIB was initially developed by HP, as its the interface between their own internal connection devices and called HPIB. In 1975, IEEE announced IEEE-488-1975 based on HPIB. (It standardizes electrical and mechanical characteristics between Connectors & Cables, and defines the data transmission Handshaking agreement among collecting bus). In 1978, IEEE made the first revision IEEE-488.1-1987 for defining the firmware. IEEE-488.2-1987 is a newly defined standard, called Standard Code, Format, Protocols and Common Commands for solving software compatibility problems. SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)

GPIB characteristics

GPIB can connect 15 devices (0~31 address can be assigned) to PC (controller), PC handles the transmission on bus. The total cable length in a system should not exceed 20m (2m max. between a device and next device) Text mode commands. (Easy to differentiate) Using three handshake line for handshaking to ensure data transmission accuracy.

PCI-1670 Introduction

Specification

Supports Windows 95/98/Me/NT40/2000/XP and DOS OS. Provides NI-like driver & function libraries. Supports Visual C++Borland C++ Builder LabwindowsVisual BasicDelphi and Labviewetc. Provides interactive control utility. GPIBTool.exe IEEE 488 bus transfer rates up to 1.5M bytes/sec. ( Actual rates depend on instrument capabilities )

PCI-1670 can connect to many GPIB instruments

GPIB Usage
The goal of GPIB usageUsing PC to integrate control and data collection on many instruments GPIB is suitable for measurement or test system In general: Advanced instruments Support GPIB Low price instruments Support RS-232 The transmission speed 8Mbits/s is enough for many instruments High speed data transmission instruments (2%) Ethernet TCP/IP 100M~1Gbits/s or USB 2.0 480Mbits/s

IEEE 488 Signal Lines

IEEE 488 bus consists of 16 signal lines, 8 ground lines and shielding The 16 lines can be divided into 3 categories: 1. Eight data lines 2. Five interface management lines 3. Three handshake lines
