OverviewThe interface system for Microsoft® MS-DOS®, Windows® 3.x, Windows® 95/98, Windows® NT and Windows® 2000 operating systems completely supports the IEEE-488.2 and SCPI standard and may be operated as system controller in all computers. Using Windows® 95/98, Windows NT® and Windows® 2000, the HP SICL/TULIP standard is supported as well.The main goal during the development of the interface series was to create a system that uses a well-known user interface and set of commands for all high level languages. This led to the decision to use the HP syntax (Hewlett Packard® / HP-Basic) for the command structure. The NT driver package works with Windows NT®
operating system versions 3.51 and 4.0. Although Windows NT®
incorporates a different driver concept than Windows® 95 , the user
and application language interfaces are retained, differences within
drivers are hidden. This applies for the Microsoft® Windows® 2000
operating system too. |

IEEE488 Windows Software PackageSimple software installation and automatic hardware testAll software is installed by the Ines setup program.
Just type 'a:setup' and all necessary drivers, application and program
language interfaces are copied from disk. ines software complies full with Microsoft® Windows® operating systems requirements and 32 bit application programs (e.g. HP-VEE 5.0). Execute 'setup' and the product will be installed in a few minutes. ComponentsThe Ines IEEE488 software package consists of low level drivers and a set of DLLs (Dynamic-Link-Libraries) for interfacing to programming languages and applications. There are also applications provided, like the Hardware Test that checks the card and looks for attached GPIB devices and the Interactive Control Program called WALI (Windows Advanced Look to IEEE) that is well suited to experiment with the GPIB bus without the need of an installed programming language.Online ManualThe Online Manual completes the package. Printed documentation is out of date at the time it is printed. Only Online documents can be updated as needed. Another advantage is the full text search feature that leads to the information quicker than a printed index.IEEE488.2 Device DriverEspecially for the use as device (Talker/Listener interface) Ines offers an "IEEE488.2 Device Driver" software. The device driver is compatible with all major operating systems such as VxWorks®, LynxOS, pSOS, OS/9, OS/9000 etc. The device driver is available as 'C' source code for all processors (Intel, HP, Motorola, Sun etc.) on the market. |

IEEE488 DOS Software PackageIn the days of graphical environments and GUI interfaces, DOS seems to be a little out of date. But for good reasons, it will remain in the next years: Real-time capability, at least to some degree, simplicity, lightweightness, quick installation and years of experience using DOS make it valuable. For these reasons, Ines continues supporting DOS. For using the PCMCIA card, additional Card Services are required.The DOS Software Package consists of the device drivers that are installed in 'config.sys', the IEEE488.2 basic I/O system, the programming language interfaces and the application interfaces. The Interactive Control Program ALI is suited to experiment with the GPIB bus without the need of an installed programming language. The Ines ieee488.2-BIOSTo be able to achieve high transfer rates, the software is split into the command interpreter and the BIOS. The Ines ieee488.2-BIOS contains IEEE-488.2 routInes optimized for speed. The user can use interrupt calls to gain access to the ieee488-BIOS and achieve high transfer rates in programmed I/O. This transfer performance is generally adequate in the practice as it greatly exceeds what most measurement devices are capable of transferring.The Ines ieee488-C-LibraryFor the 'C' programming language a special C-Library was developed. This way the ieee488 driver with all commands becomes part of the according 'C' dialect. The C-Library is available for DOS and Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.LPT and COM redirectionThe automatic redirection of all LPT and COM interfaces can be done with a simple PRINTER command. Easy to use file transfer Direct data transfer between systems, for example between two computers, is accomplished with the ENTFILE and OUTFILE commands. With the help of these functions, it is possible to transfer data files of any size from one hard disk to the other.Memory managementInes-ieee488 offers commands such as MEMSET, INMEM, and MEMVEC to reserve main memory in the computer for storing measurement values. This considerably reduces the programming which needs to be done. Reserving memory protects the measurement values from being overwritten by other data.Interactive supervision and controlInes-ieee488 offers an interactive program to quickly gain experience with the measurement devices attached to the system. With the communication program ALI (Advanced Look to IEEE), you can create complex command sequences, set up loops, wait for an SRQ before accessing a measurement device, or read and transfer data directly into a data file with the name specified in the ENTFILE command. |
