1.1 Getting Started The following steps illustrate the basic flow of how to use the PCI-4302, from the installing the board to running the GPIB utility programs. Please refer to the followings when you use this product for the first time.
This chapter describes basic communications between the PCI-4302 and connected GPIB devices by using the utility program included with the driver software. Proceed as follows: 1. Install the PCI-4302 in your computer. Then connect the board and GPIB devices using GPIB cables. Refer to “3.2 Board Installation,” page 13 and “3.3 Cabling,” page 14.

4. Initialize the devices connected to the GPIB. a. Sending the IFC message When the IFC line is asserted, every interface connected on the GPIB is initialized and the board becomes Controller-in-charge. The CIC indicator is turned on as well as the ATN indicator.

• Primary address range: 00h through 1Eh • Secondary address range: 60h through 7Eh IFC (Interface clear): The System Controller asserts the IFC line to initialize the bus. The devices on the bus are unaddressed. The System Controller becomes Controller-in-charge.
1. Click the Data Send button, and type the GPIB addresses of the device to which you want to send data, and then click the Exec button. You can see that the PCI-4302 has become a Talker when the TA indicator is turned on.
PCI-4302 2.3 Receiving Data This section describes how to receive data from a device addressed as a Talker. 1. Click the Data Receive button, and type the GPIB addresses of the device from which you want to receive data, and then click the Exec button.
PCI-4302 2.4 Serial Polling This section describes how to execute a serial poll. The following summarizes the serial poll. • The GPIB devices request service from the Controller-in-charge by asserting the SRQ line. • The Controller serial polls each of the device to see if it requested service. Once the controller has determined which one of the devices requires service, it reads a status byte (STB) from that device.
Device 1, 2: Talker or Listener Figure 2.2 Serial polling 2.5 Closing the GPIB Interface Board To exit the GPIB utility program and close the board, click Close the Device on the File menu. After closing the board, click Exit on the File menu.
PCI-4302 Chapter 3 Installation 3.1 General You need to install the device driver from the CD-ROM before getting started with this board. Installation procedures differ depending on which operating system being used. 3.2 Board Installation 1. Set the PCI board identification switch and any other switches correctly according to your system.
1. Make sure that your computer and GPIB devices are turned off. “Off” “Off” 2. Connect the PCI-4302 in your computer and the devices with GPIB cables. 3. First, turn on the devices. Second, turn on your computer. Before operating the GPIB, follow the notes below: □...
PCI-4302 3.4.2 Windows 2000 The driver may only be installed by a member of the System Administrators group. 1. When you log on to Windows 2000, the device driver wizard will start automatically. 2. In the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box, click Next .
PCI-4302 3.4.5 Windows 98 1. When you log on to Windows 98, the device wizard will start automatically. 2. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. 3. In the Add New Hardware Wizard dialog box, click Search for the best driver for your device [Recommended] , and then click Next .
Select GPF-4301 in the list, and then click Install . 3. Follow further instructions on your screen. 4. To verify you have successfully installed the software package, check that Interface GPF-4301 is registered in the Programs folder. 3.6 Software Uninstallation 1.
Close Closes this dialog box. 3. Click Add on the Interface GPIB Board System Configuration dialog box, and then the Add the Board dialog box will appear. 4. Click the board model that you installed, and then click OK .
PCI-4302 6. Configure the software parameters for each board. a. Click a board model in the list to configure, and then click Default Settings . The Default Settings dialog box will appear. b. Configure parameters properly, and then click OK . Refer to Table 3.1, for more details.
Primary address Assign a different primary address, in the range of 00h 00 (h) through 1Eh to each interface in the system. Secondary address Freely assign any value in the range of 60h through 7Eh. Some GPIB devices have or need no secondary address, FF (h) specify FFh in the Secondary address box.
PCI-4302 Chapter 4 Notes for Users 4.1 Cabling in Difficult Situations Lack of clearance between slots or limited spaces in back panels of computer results in conflicts in cabling. In such a case, use an adapter to expand clearance. We recommend the following adapter: EXN01 (BLACK BOX Network Service Co., Ltd.)
PCI-4302 4.2 System Requirements and Guidelines 4.2.1 Maximum Number of Devices The maximum number of devices that can be connected together in one system is 15. 4.2.2 Cable Assembly Length Limitation The maximum length of any single cable in the system is 4.0 m.
A GPIB address consists of a primary address and a secondary address. Assign a different primary address, in the range of 0 through 30, or 00h through 1Eh, to each interface in the system. The secondary address of each interface may be freely assigned to any value.
Configuring the rotary switch for the PCI board identification Configure the rotary switch for the PCI board identification not to conflict with numbers assigned for other boards. Refer to “6.3 Interface PCI Board Identification (RSW1),” page 31. Configuring driver software parameters Configure the driver software parameters for each board.
When two or more identical boards are installed in a single system, each RSW1 must be set to a unique value. See “6.3 Interface PCI Board Identification (RSW1),” page 31.
• Interface GPIB diagnostic program 5.2.2 Starting the Diagnostic Program 1. Click the Start button, point to Programs , point to Interface GPF-4301 , and then click GPIB Diagnostic Program . 2. The Interface GPIB Board Diagnostic Program main window will appear.
• Have you installed the driver software correctly? If not so, uninstall and reinstall the driver software. See “3.4 Driver Software Installation,” page 14. • Does the PCI BIOS or Windows correctly initialize and configure the Interface GPIB boards? Please inquire of our Technical Support Center about solutions for the unresolved problems.
PCI-4302 5.3 FAQ Q1) When assembling a 4-meter cable from two 2-meter cables, can I use the assembled cable for my GPIB system? A1) No, the assembled cable for reliable operations of the system cannot be used. Inquire of our Sales Information Center for non-standard length cables.
A general purpose LED shows whether the PCI-4302 has a controller capability. An I/O access LED blinks when the device driver accesses to the PCI-4302 . A GPIB access LED blinks when the PCI-4302 participates in activities on the GPIB. The locations of these LEDs are described in “6.4 LEDs,” page 31.
For every PCI-4301, PCI-4302, PCI-4304, and PCI-4304P board in the same system, the RSW1 switch setting must be unique. Figure 6.1 PCI board identification switch 6.4 LEDs...
