Introduction to this Manual This manual is the Personal488 User’s Manual for Windows 95 and Windows NT. The material in this manual discusses PC/IEEE 488 controller interface hardware and their accompanying 32-bit driver software. This material is divided into the following sections: · Chapter 1: Personal488 Overview gives a general description of both the interface hardware and the driver software associated with each of the Personal488 PC/IEEE 488 controller interface packages discussed in this manual. · Chapter 2: Personal488/PCI (with PCI488) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation of the "plug-&-play" PCI488 interface and its drivers. · Chapter 3: Personal488/ATpnp (with AT488pnp) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation of the "plug-&-play" AT488pnp interface and its drivers. · Chapter 4: Personal488/CARD (with CARD488) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation of the "plug-&-play" CARD488 interface and its drivers. · Chapter 5: Personal488/AT (with AT488) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation and configuration of the AT488 interface and its drivers. · Chapter 6: Personal488 (with GP488B) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation and configuration of the GP488B interface and its drivers. · Chapter 7: Personal488/MM (with GP488B/MM) provides a discussion of the hardware specifications, and the instructions for the installation and configuration of the GP488B/MM interface and its drivers. · Chapter 8: Driver488/W95 & Driver488/WNT gives a more-detailed description of the 32-bit Windows-based driver software implemented with each of the Personal488 products in this manual, and includes instructions for the configuration of this software. · Chapter 9: API Command Reference provides descriptions for the entire API command set combining both 32-bit versions of Driver488 – Driver488/W95 and Driver488/WNT – and covering each of the Personal488 products in this manual. The description format of the individual API commands includes the command syntax, returned response, operating mode, bus states, and an example program excerpt. · Chapter 10: Troubleshooting provides a reference for possible solutions to technical problems. Before calling for technical assistance, refer to this chapter. · The Appendix provides background information concerning the IEEE 488 bus, the serial bus, and ASCII controls. · The Index provides a comprehensive alphabetical listing of the main terms and topics in this manual. Also, the Abbreviations on the last pages of this manual, provides an overall list of abbreviations, including acronyms and ASCII control codes, as an additional reference for this manual and for other related literature. Since many of the hardware names and boards discussed in this manual appear very similar to each other, make sure you view the material which corresponds to your specific hardware board. For example, although the GP488B and GP488B/MM names are very similar, the interface boards are not identical; some material will apply to only one of these boards. Information which may have changed since the time of printing will be found in a README.TXT file on disk, or in an addendum to the manual.
