Product-specific answers based on available technical information.
It connects external IEEE 488 GPIB instruments to a PXI system for instrument control.
NI specifies up to 1536 kbytes/s with three-wire GPIB and up to 7885 kbytes/s with HS488.
Yes. NI recommends a bus-master-capable peripheral slot for the onboard DMA controller. Its legacy installation guide requires disabling DMA when using a non-bus-master slot.
