A complement to Keithley's precision measurement instruments, the Model KPCI-488LP is priced at only EURO 369, helping test engineers to further lower their cost of test and ownership. To reduce switching costs, the Model KPCI-488LP's driver library is fully command compatible with Keithley, Capital Equipment Corporation (CEC), and National InstrumentsTM (NITM) command sets, making it plug-and-play compatible with existing applications.

For customer convenience, with the Model KPCI-488LP, Keithley includes both a full height and a half-height bracket for use with newer low-profile PCs.

The Model KPCI-488LP provides complete software support for Windows XP and 2000. Support will be provided for the new Microsoft Windows VISTA operating system upon its release. The Model KPCI-488LP also supports industry-standard VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) libraries
