GPIB, Serial, and Ethernet
GPIB, Serial, and Ethernet products communicate between your PC and stand-alone or modular instruments. You can use the GPIB (IEEE 488), Serial (RS232, RS485, and RS422), or Ethernet interfaces to create instrument control systems.
PLATFORM MODULES
Platform modules integrate with modular hardware platforms that allow you to combine different types of modules in a custom system that leverages shared platform features. NI offers three hardware platforms—CompactDAQ, CompactRIO, and PXI—though all platforms may not be represented in this category.
C Series Serial
Interface Module
Adds serial ports to CompactRIO systems that allow you to communicate with serial devices.
Feature Highlights:
Platform: CompactRIO
PXI GPIB Instrument
Control Module
Integrates non-PXI instruments into your PXI system using the GPIB standard.
Feature Highlights:
Platform: PXI
Bus: PXI
PXI Serial Interface Module
Enables you to communicate with and control external serial hardware from a PXI or PXI Express chassis using asynchronous serial interfaces that support a variety of protocols.
Feature Highlights:
Platform: PXI
Bus: PXI, PXI Express
PXI Ethernet Interface Module
Enables Ethernet-based communication between PXI hardware and external instruments and devices and supports GigE Vision cameras without power over Ethernet (PoE).
Feature Highlights:
Platform: PXI
Bus: PXI, PXI Express
STAND-ALONE OR COMPUTER-BASED DEVICES
Stand-alone or computer-based devices either integrate with standard desktop and laptop computers or allow you to use them without the need for other modular hardware.
GPIB Instrument Control Device
Integrates an instrument into your system using a GPIB interface.
Feature Highlights:
Bus: Ethernet, ExpressCard, GPIB Device, PC/104, PCI, PCI Express, PMC, USB
Enables you to communicate with and control external serial hardware using asynchronous serial interfaces that support a variety of protocols.
Feature Highlights:
Bus: PCI, PCI Express, USB
