It is a standard for mezzanine interfaces for VME motherboards. PMC is electrically a superset of desktop PCI with a different physical configuration. An NI TNT family ASIC performs the basic IEEE 488 talker, listener, and controller functions required by the IEEE 488.2 standard and increases the maximum data transfer rate of ANSI/IEEE 488.1-1987 to 8 MB/s using the highspeed GPIB protocol (HS488). The PMC-GPIB is available with NI-488.2 for Windows XP/2000/Me/9x/NT. Alternatively, you can use the NI-488DDK, a comprehensive source-code package for developing applications for other operating systems. NI-488DDK consists of more than 20 board-level functions provided in source code to give you a head start when you must design your own GPIB driver. NI-488DDK, a subset of the NI-488.2, uses the same syntax for straightforward migration of applications from NI-488DDK to NI-488.2.
