I/O performance is imperative in instrument control.
The computer should always be waiting for the instrument
and By moving software functions into hardware and concentrating on improving the performance of small transactions the 81488 is able to offer real world performance improvements. General Characteristics
Using a single number to
characterize performance of GPIB, or any type of I/O
operation can be misleading. There are many factors that
affect actual performance: the amount of data being transferred; the size of data
blocks; the difference between read and write speeds;
programming language; the computer being used; etc. As a
result, we do not recommend basing any decisions on maximum
transfer rate. However, to conform to the industry
standard of specifying maximum I/O speed, the TAMS 81488 card
can be specified to exceed 1MB/s. In addition, our tests have
shown the 81488 to be 4.5 times than the 80488 for small
transactions.
The TAMS 81488 is fully
compliant with the PCI specifications for 3.3V and 5V
PCI or PCI-X slots and delivers the highest possible level
of throughput. The card operates with 32 bit or 64 bit
signaling specified at 33, 66, 100 or 133MHz, allowing
complete configuration flexibility. Whether you are
using BASIC
for Linux
or programming in C with the
SICL
or VISA library, your code will now run at full
performance.
TAMS is fully committed to
supporting the Linux operating system. By supporting Linux with TAMS
products, we are enabling our customers to deploy test and measurement
solutions on the lowest cost hardware and operating system
infrastructure. We believe that Linux is more attractive today than it
ever was, as customers are looking for reliable and cost effective
solutions.
