Compatibility
The Ines IEEE for PCI card is fully compatible^*) with the HPIB interface found on Hewlett Packards 9000 Series 200/300 Workstations when using under HTBasic (Windows version). The Hewlett Packard SICL Library has to be installed before the Ines IEEE for PCI card can be used with HTBasic for Windows. Standard IEEE-488 cables are used to connect the controller card to instruments and devices.

IEEE-488 (GPIB) Compatibility
The General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) is defined by ANSI/IEEE Standards 488 1978 & 488.2-1987. The GPIB bus was developed to connect and control programmable instruments, and to provide a standard interface for communication between instruments from different sources.

The GPIB interface consists of 16 signal lines and 8 ground lines. The 16 signal lines are divided into 3 groups: 8 data lines, 3 handshake lines, and 5 interface management lines.

^*) The device mode is not supported (this mode is used in very rare cases when connecting two computers). The Ines GPIB cards can only be used as the system controller.
