HP / Keysight / Agilent E2078A Overview
The Agilent E2078A is a high-performance IEEE-488 interface and software for 5 V PCI-based workstations. The E2078A makes it easy to access and control instruments and exchange data. This is a high-speed PCI card with built-in buffering, which provides I/O and system performance that is superior to direct memory access (DMA)-up to 750 KB/s.
The E2078A comes with SICL and VISA software for HP-UX 10.20. This software is compatible with all previous versions of SICL/VISA. The hardware is auto-configurable using PCI standards, eliminating the need for switch settings.
The GPIB interface card plugs into a 5 V PCI slot in the backplane of your workstation. A GPIB cable connects this card to GPIB instruments. For VXI applications a GPIB cable connects the card to the command module in Slot 0 of the VXI mainframe.
