Can I move an old PCI-GPIB card to a new computer?

[Golareh]

Hi,

I have a UDT position sensor which is hooked to a very old HP computer through a PCI-GPIB IEEE 488.2 interface using an NI 763061-02 REV.C Type -X2 cable (the same GPIB connector on both ends of the cable). I need to connect the position sensor to a new computer which does not have such port/card.  I tried to move the card from the old computer to the new one but the PCI card does not fit into the new computer (the old tower is much bigger than the new one). Are there different types of the PCI-GPIB cards for different system models? Is there any way that I can use the same old card on the new system or should I order a new smaller card for my new computer? How about buying an NI GPIB-USB-HS instead of the whole card thing?

Thanks,

Goli

I do not think you can use this old GPIB card in new one because they have different slot shape
but about the gpib to usb
first we have to know what is your udt position sensor is

A new PC is likely to have PCIe instead of PCI.  This would be a big change.  I would recommend to buy either a USB-GPIB adapter or a PCIe GPIB card.
