Programmable Development Card
The 50M70 provides the means of developing (breadboarding) a unique circuit and interfacing it to the GPIB without the need for designing the GPIB interface. With the 50M70, the user can create a specialized function card to be used in the MI 5010 System from the component level!
50M70 development card shown with 50 conductor ribbon cable attached. Ribbon cable is supplied with each function card.
The 50M70 contains two 16-bit interface-logic registers (type 68B21 PIAs) with a high level language interface into (be Ml 5010 GPIB system. A 4x4 inch breadboard area with power supplies permits circuit development.
Typical 50M70 applications include analog and digital signal processors, timing. triggering and protocol generators, and keyboard and display emulators. The 50M70 is an ideal tool for developing ATE Automatic Test Equipment. Combine your own custom design with the power of off the shelf precision measuring test equipment plugins, A/D, D/A, relay multiplexing, and data I/O, and the possibilities are endless.
Easy to program GPIB control commands configuration and I/O: Byte-wide outputs are made with “DATA <num>” commands. Inputs are made with DATA? queries.
