Varian IEEE 488 GPIB Products

For many years Varian used the Scientific Solutions IEEE-488 card in their mass spectrometer systems. Scientific Solutions is pleased to offer these products direct to Varian end users who may require a replacement card or a PCI version of the IEEE-488 card.

Scientific Solutions has two versions of the IEEE-488 card that can be used with Varian systems:
(1). IEEE-488-CL / ISA
(2). IEEE-488-CL / PCI

The ISA and PCI cards are 100% cross-compatible meaning that software the runs on one of the cards will also run on the other. Most of the Varian cards in use are the ISA cards, dating back to the early 1980s. Many customers wish to update their computer systems from older ISA to the newer PCI based systems. However, customers still desire to use the same software.

Scientific Solutions designed the IEEE-488-CL / PCI to be a 100% direct replacement for the IEEE-488-CL / ISA cards. This means customers can upgrade their computer and use the existing software. Check your Varian software requirements. If it is written to use the Scientific Solutions IEEE-488 card, then you can either use the ISA or the PCI version.

Scientific Solutions was the first company to offer a IEEE-488 (GPIB, HPIB) interface for the personal computer. First introduced in November of 1981, the versions sold today remain 100% compatible to the very first one produced over 20 years ago.
