PCI-GPIB 188513E-01 and Windows 10 and PCIe

[Andreas.]

Hi,

We are using a computer (OS Windows XP) connected via a PCI (PCI-GPIB/TNT5004 188513E-01) to an Agilent DMM. The current drivers are NI-VISA version 4.3 and NI-488.2 version 2.52.

We want to replace this computer with a new one and OS Windows 10. Presumably the new computer only has PCI Express slots. We assume it is necessary to replace the PCI-GPIB 188513E-01 board with a one suitable for PCI Express. What would that board's name be? Or is there another option?

Best regards,

Andreas.

I believe you had the PCI-GPIB and not the plus version. In this case, your best fit replacement will be PCIe-GPIB (two models - low profile and normal). You could even go with the PCIe-GPIB+ that has an onboard GPIB Analyzer.

Thank you for your answer.

Currently the PCI-GPIB board is connected to a device via a National Instrument GPIB cable 763061-005 REV C, Type-X2, 2000 04 03.

Can I use the identical cable to connect to the device with a new PCI Express - GPIB board (available via the link above)?

Both PCI and PCIe versions of GPIB cards use the same connector, so, you can use the same GPIB cable for instrumentation.
