PCI Express GPIB interfaces

PCIe is the next evolution of PCI.  It offers fast data transmission for demanding test applications.  Supported on both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows, TAMS PCIe cards are also backward compatible with PCI software, so you don't need to re-configure any code.

TAMS 488 Cables:
Our cable is a high density connector on one end and a standard GPIB connector on the other.  Our card uses a smaller, high density connector so as to be in full compliance with the PCI specification.  A standard GPIB connector on a PCI card is actually wider than the PCI specification allows.  With a standard GPIB connector and cable, it is sometimes impossible to connect the cable to some computers.  The large connectors often interfere with the case or adjacent expansion slots.  This stresses the cable, card or connection. Our high density connector allows multiple cards to be installed in adjacent slots without cable interference or connection strain.
