Can we install a PCI-GPIB card on a laptop

or do we need to install PCMCIA GPIB card for that. We will have windows 2000 installed on the laptop. I want to use LabVIEW 6.0 on my laptop.

Hello Kunal,
Generally speaking you will need to have a PCMCIA GPIB card as there is not way to connect a PCI card to a laptop computer. Depending on your application however there are a few alternatives. We also have a USB based GPIB card which will work in any laptop that has USB connectivity. In addition, you may be able to take advantage of a GPIB ENET device that can be connected to any Ethernet network. This will allow your laptop to connect to your GPIB devices from anywhere.
