Overview
The compact NI GPIB-USB-HS transforms any computer with a USB port into a full-function, IEEE 488.2 controller that can control up to 14 programmable GPIB instruments. The
small size and light weight of this controller make it ideal for portable applications using a laptop computer or other applications in which the computer has no available internal I/O
slots. The GPIB-USB-HS works with Windows 7/Vista/XP/Me/2000/98, Mac OS X, and Linux computers with a USB port.

Application and Technology
This controller is easy to install and use because there are no external DIP switches and you do not need to restart your computer for the system to recognize your IEEE 488.2
interface. It is a plug-and-play interface that the OS automatically recognizes and configures as soon as you physically attach it to the USB port on your computer. With the
GPIB-USB-HS, you can get up and running quickly, so you can focus on developing your instrument control applications.
The GPIB-USB-HS is the first GPIB interface to take advantage of the superior performance of Hi-Speed USB signaling (480 Mbit/s). Plugging it into a Hi-Speed USB port
provides industry-leading GPIB performance using both the standard and high-speed IEEE 488.1 handshake. Using a TNT family talker/listener/controller IEEE 488.2 ASIC, the
GPIB-USB-HS implements the full range of GPIB controller functions, including those required and recommended by IEEE 488.2. It also implements normal and extended talker
and listener, serial and parallel polling, service request, and pass/receive control functions. Drawing power directly from the USB port, the GPIB-USB-HS requires no external
power input.
