Issue Details

The performance specifications for the PCIe-GPIB and PCIe-GPIB+ are the same, so what is the difference in the two products?

Solution

The PCIe-GPIB+ device comes with analyzer hardware to spy on GPIB bus activity, while the PCIe-GPIB does not. Interaction with the GPIB bus on compatible devices is done through software called GPIB Analyzer in the NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
