It is a standard for mezzanine interfaces for VME motherboards. PMC is electrically a superset of desktop PCI with a different physical configuration. An NI TNT family ASIC performs the basic IEEE 488 talker, listener, and controller functions required by the IEEE 488.2 standard and increases the maximum data transfer rate of ANSI/IEEE 488.1-1987 to 8 MB/s using the highspeed GPIB protocol (HS488). The PMC-GPIB is available with NI-488.2 for Windows XP/2000/Me/9x/NT. Alternatively, you can use the NI-488DDK, a comprehensive source-code package for developing applications for other operating systems. NI-488DDK consists of more than 20 board-level functions provided in source code to give you a head start when you must design your own GPIB driver. NI-488DDK, a subset of the NI-488.2, uses the same syntax for straightforward migration of applications from NI-488DDK to NI-488.2.

P DE Hardware Services System Assurance Programs NI system assurance programs are designed to make it even easier for you to own an NI system. These programs include configuration and deployment services for your NI PXI, CompactRIO, or Compact FieldPoint system. The NI Basic System Assurance Program provides a simple integration test and ensures that your system is delivered completely assembled in one box. When you configure your system with the NI Standard System Assurance Program, you can select from available NI system driver sets and application development environments to create customized, reorderable software configurations. Your system arrives fully assembled and tested in one box with your software preinstalled. When you order your system with the standard program, you also receive systemspecific documentation including a bill of materials, an integration test report, a recommended maintenance plan, and frequently asked question documents. Finally, the standard program reduces the total cost of owning an NI system by providing three years of warranty coverage and calibration service. Use the online product advisors at ni.com/advisor to find a system assurance program to meet your needs. Calibration Services NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for highaccuracy measurements. We provide manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software specifically designed for use by metrology laboratories. Visit ni.com/calibration.
