Chapter 1 Description of the GPIB-BUF This chapter contains general information about the National Instruments GPIB-BUF and lists components and accessories. Introduction The GPIB-BUF, shown in Figure 1-1, is an IEEE 488 (GPIB) data buffer which increases GPIB performance by isolating a slow GPIB data acceptor from the rest of the GPIB system. This increase in performanc

Description of the GPIB-BUF Chapter 1 The GPIB-BUF has two isolated GPIB ports and is placed in-line between a GPIB system and a single, slower GPIB device (usually a printer or plotter). The GPIB-BUF automatically buffers all device-dependent data sent to the slower device. Because the GPIB-BUF can talk or listen on either port at any time, the GPIB-BUF provides fully transparent bi-directional data transfers. The target GPIB device appears to be connected directly to the IEEE 488 bus. What Y

Chapter 1 Description of the GPIB-BUF The port labeled GPIB IN is intended to be connected to a GPIB system that includes one or more GPIB devices which send data to the GPIB target device. All data received via the GPIB IN port is transferred into the Random Access Memory (RAM) buffer of the GPIB-BUF using the on- board Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller. The port labeled GPIB OUT should be connected to the GPIB target device. This port has GPIB controller capabilities and addresses the G

Chapter 2 Installation and Operation Step 3. Configure the Operating Parameters The GPIB-BUF is shipped from the factory configured to operate at a GPIB primary address of 5 with the SRQ-on-empty function disabled and device clear recognition and pass through enabled. The address specified on the configuration switches should match the GPIB address of your target device. If the addresses do not match, you must either change the primary address of your target device or change the primary addres
