CHAPTER 1
THE WORLD OF
PC IEEE.
Introduction.____________
This chapter, The World Of PC IEEE, discusses the
features of the PC IEEE card, mentions programs and languages
that will drive the PC IEEE card and explains its how its high
specification custom design whilst retaining exact compatibility
with other manufacturers designs gives it extreme flexibility in
its application and use. Finally, the perfect companion product
for the PC IEEE card, the Professional 488 Device Driver
development environment, which is bundled with every PC IEEE
card, is introduced.
What Machine Do You Need?__________________________
The PC IEEE board and software will run on the IBM PC
and its clones. It will work on any of the industry standard PC,
XT and AT machines including the 286 XT and the COMPAQ
386 computers. The Amstrad PC1512 and 1640 computers,
Olivetti, Tandon, Victor, Commodore and many more are
perfectly at home with our products.
The PC IEEE card will fit in the half size or full size slots
on your computer. You will also need at least one disk drive to
load your software.
You can use any version of DOS 2, DOS 3, DOS 4 or
OS/2.
The PC IEEE board will also fit in the new IBM PS/2
Chapter 1 Page 1
PC IEEE Reference World Of PC IEEE.
Model 30 computer, though be careful to obtain application
software in the 3 1/2 inch disk format. Please ring us if you
have any difficulty doing this.
The PS/2 models 50, 60 and 80 have a Micro Channel
Architecture bus that is different to the PC standard. For these
computers our PS Elite/2 IEEE 488 board is required.
PC IEEE Features._________________
The PC IEEE card extracts the ultimate IEEE-488
performance from your Personal Computer. Using an in house
design we have taken PC based IEEE cards to the limit. PC
IEEE is a half size card that fits any PC or AT slot. PC IEEE
has the complete Controller, Listener and Talker ability. True
flexibility with a choice of 5 interrupt lines and 128 I/O
addresses.
PC IEEE is based on the highly versatile Motorola 68B21
PIA i/o chip, with supporting Texas Instrument IEEE data and
management line drivers and logic chips controlling interrupts,
i/o timing and address decode. The PC IEEE uses an IEEE
standard gold plated R.F.I. shielded plug, and connects directly
to IEEE 488 cables. It is a space saving 4.2 x 5.3 inches overall,
suitable for any length slot in your PC, XT, AT, 386 etc.
Consuming approx 400mA at 5V. It weighs under 0.15kg,
0.35lb. The PC IEEE card is as rugged as your PC.
Interrupt Selection._________________
The interrupt hardware allows jumper selection of one of
five PC interrupt request lines, IRQ2 - IRQ5 & IRQ7. The PC
IEEE interrupt logic allows multiple interrupt sources within the
PC IEEE to share the same IRQ channel. 3 interrupt sources are
software selectable providing very flexible interrupt driven i/o
operations.
Page 2 Chapter 1
World Of PC IEEE. PC IEEE Reference
The PC IEEE does NOT have DMA ability. If you need
DMA driven IEEE handling then use the PC Elite card, this has
DMA interrupt sharing, allowing selection of one of three direct
memory access channels for high speed data transfer exceeding
300K bytes per second.
Address Switches.________________
The DIP switches enable the PC IEEE card to reside at
one of 128 base addresses with the PC, on any 4 byte boundary
within the 0200H to 03FCH ranges. Four PC IEEE cards in your
PC can provide access to 56 IEEE instruments.
Software Support.________________
The low cost and high performance of PC data acquisition
and analysis software packages combined with the PC IEEE card
makes them ideal as powerful and inexpensive instrument
controllers. Keep your technology advancing whilst your capital
investment stays low!
The PC IEEE card comes complete with the easiest to use
PC based IEEE software in the world, the Pro-488 Device
Driver environment. Use Professional 488 to run the PC IEEE
from Basic, Pascal, C, Assembler, Fortran etc. In addition the
Pro-488 system will allow the PC IEEE to emulate a standard
PC parallel printer or serial printer port, thus providing IEEE
plotter support from most standard packages such as Lotus 123,
Autocad, Symphony etc.
Our Premier card, The PC Elite, is guaranteed fully 100%
compatible with Lotus Measure, LabTech NoteBook, Asyst,
DaDisp 488, Test Windows, Unkelscope, TBasic, True BASIC,
National Instruments IEEE software, and all software that
supports the IBM GPIB card.
Please Note that PC IEEE does NOT work with this
software, therefore, if you wish to use these popular data

acquisition packages then ask your dealer for a PC Elite IEEE
card.
Introducing Professional 488.__________________________
The perfect partner for the PC IEEE card is Professional-
488, the best PC based IEEE software in the world! Pro-488
makes the PC IEEE card an integral part of your PC, controlled
by an enhanced Hewlett Packard style syntax that runs all DOS
languages. Pro-488 makes PC IEEE compatible with BASICA,
GWBASIC, Complied BASIC, Quick Basic, Turbo Basic, Turbo
Pascal, Turbo C, Lattice C, Aztec C, Zortech C, Prospero Pascal,
Microsoft C Pascal, MS Fortran, MS Assembler, FS Fortran and
many more languages.
Outline._______
The Professional-488 software system allows any PC with
an IEEE-488 interface to become an IEEE bus controller,
exercising complete control over a bus full of up to 14 IEEE
instruments. An easy to use, flexible, enhanced industry standard
control language addresses the IEEE devices and provides
complete instrumentation control. The heart of the Professional-
488 system is the device driver software that loads automatically
when your PC is switched on. After that, your PC has access to
an IEEE port in the same way as the other resident ports LPT1
or COM1. The Professional-488 Device driver makes full use of
all the advanced features of your PC. We believe that software
sells hardware and that is why we made Professional-488 the
perfect companion for PC Elite IEEE and PC IEEE cards.
The Professional-488 Environment._______________________________
The Profession-488 is the ideal development environment
for IEEE based data acquisition and control. Professional-488 is
more than just an instrumentation shell, its a mature carefully
Page 4 Chapter 1
World Of PC IEEE. PC IEEE Reference
thought out, PC based implementation, of a superset of Hewlett
Packard’s HPIB language. The commands and your programs
read just like plain English and so program development and
maintenance time are cut to an absolute minimum. Since your
time is extremely valuable we made Pro-488 code easy to write,
simple to debug and a pleasure to read. Pro-488 runs identically
across the range of DOS languages. The syntax, parameters and
returns of the Pro-488 system remain the same, independent of
the language that you are running. No extra language drivers or
run time modules are needed to implement a new language. So
you can use the ideal IEEE system with the language of your
choice. The readily available bus status string contains a wealth
of information about the state of the IEEE bus and is easily
processed in any language. Pro-488 is feature rich, with a wide
range of commands, from the lowest level, of individual line
control, right up through single word commands that perform or
initiate whole sequences of bus actions. Its IEEE-488 without the
sweat!
Learn How To Use It In Minutes._____________________________
Since the Professional-488 talks the established IEEE
control language, you probably already know how to use it! A
good way of learning how to use the Professional 488 is inter-
actively from the keyboard of your Personal Computer using the
GPIBTALK suit of programs. Included on the Professional 488
system disk is the source code, and the ready run versions of,
GPIBTALK in each of four languages. ATALK in Assembly
language, CTALK, PASTALK and GPIBTALK in GW-BASIC
and BASICA. These powerful programs are a menu driven sys-
tem that allows you to send IEEE commands, transmit and
receive data from your bus devices and check the status of the
GPIB interface bus, all at the touch of a single key. In this way
the user can get a good feel of the power and ease of use of the
Professional 488 command language in a very short time. Most
IEEE equipment includes worked examples that are virtually
word for word PRO-488 commands!
