AB48-23 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) about
ICS's 488.2 Driver and the supported GPIB Controller cards and modules.
For questions about our new 488.2V3 Driver, refer to AB48-40 below.
AB48-24 Shows how to control Modbus Devices from
the GPIB bus using ICS's 4804/4894A GPIB-to-Serial Interfaces. The
Application Note shows connections to a Watlow Controller and software
directions for creating Modbus packets. Example Visual Basic programs
are available which run on PCs with Visual Basic 4.0 or later. The project
files are in self-exploding zip files. File ICS2Mod.exe
is for PCs with ICS's 488-PC2 card. File ICS-NI2Mod.exe
is for ICS's 488-PCI/PCM cards, National Instruments, Computer Boards,
or any GPIB Controller Card that uses the NI488.2 Commands. See AB48-25A
below for an easier solution.
AB48-25d Shows how to use ICS's new 4809, 4819
and 4899 GPIB-to-Modbus Interfaces to easily control Modbus Devices from
the GPIB bus. The Application Note includes a description of a Visual
Basic example program that controls process temperatures and humidity
with the Watlow F4 Controller. The program runs on ICS's 488-USB/488-PCI/PCM
cards, National Instruments, Measurement Computing, or any GPIB Controller
Card that supports the NI 488 style commands. Download the Visual Basic
program TempCtlr.zip.
AB48-26 Shows how to control GPIB devices over a
serial link and describes the differences between the 4894A and 4895 when
they are being used as Serial-to-GPIB bus controllers.
AB48-27 Describes how a 4863 can be used as a Test
Module Adapter (TMA) to control GPIB devices from a parallel (BCD) interface
to replace obsolete instruments in an Automatic Test System (ATS).
AB48-28 Describes how a 488-PCI Card or a 488-PCM
Card can be programmed for a Non-controller application. Download
Visual

Kerr's new Screen Capture utility.
AB48-31 Describes how a 4863, 4803, 4823B or a 4813
GPIB-to-Parallel Interface can be controlled with LabView VIs. Download
the example VIs 4863_LabView.zip.
AB48-32 Describes how ibnotify is used to handle
an asynchronous event and an example program using ibnotify to to receive
serial data from an ICS 4896 GPIB to Quad Serial Interface. Download
the example program ibnotify_app.zip.
