GPIB Controller Functions
The NI GPIB-USB-HS takes advantage of high speed USB 2.0 to provide superior performance:
- Up to 1.8 MB/s with the standard IEEE 488 handshake
- Up to7.2 MB/s with the high-speed IEEE 488 handshake (HS488).
The small size and light weight of the GPIB-USB-HS make it ideal for portable applications using a laptop computer or other applications where the computer has no available internal I/O slots.
The GPIB-USB-HS is shipped with NI-488.2 for Windows 2000/XP.
GPIB Controller Features
- IEEE 488.1 transfer rates up to 1.8 MB/s (Std.) and 7.2 MB/s (HS488)
- High speed USB 2.0 compliant, compatible with USB 1.x Full-Speed ports
- Complete IEEE 488.2 compatibility
- Plug and play installation and configuration
- No GPIB cable requirement for instrument connection
- Drop in replacement for the NI GPIB-USB-B

Advanced GPIB Controller Options
The GPIB-USB-HS is easy to install and use because there are no external DIP switches and you do not need to restart your computer for the system to recognize your IEEE 488.2 interface.
The GPIB-USB-HS is a plug and play interface that the OS automatically recognizes and configures as soon as you physically attach it to the USB port on your computer.
With the GPIB USB-HS, you can get up and running quickly, so you can focus on developing your instrument control applications.
The GPIB-USB-HS is the first GPIB interface to take advantage of the superior performance of high speed USB 2.0 signaling (480 Mb/s).
Plugging the GPIB-USB-HS into a USB high-speed port provides industry-leading GPIB performance using both the standard and high-speed IEEE 488.1 handshake.
Using a TNT family Talker/Listener/Controller IEEE 488.2 ASIC, the GPIB-USB-HS implements the full range of GPIB controller functions, including those required and recommended by IEEE 488.2.
It also implements normal and extended talker and listener, serial and parallel polling, service requests, and pass/receive control functions.
Drawing power directly from the USB port, the GPIB-USB-HS requires no external power input.
With NI-488.2, you get a robust driver with additional utilities and wizards that help you troubleshoot your applications and decrease your development time.
Furthermore, you maintain compatibility with existing systems.
Applications previously written for other National Instruments GPIB controllers can run unmodified with the GPIB-USB-HS.
