the hardware
•Flashing of control units
If you use the device for any purpose for which it is not intended, the GOEPEL electronics GmbH
can not be held liable for resulting damage.
The device is intended for indoor use only and to be used only at an ambient temperature of 0 ° C - +45 ° C. It
must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, temperature fluctuations, heating and cooling systems, direct
sunlight, high levels of dust, vibration and impact, extreme humidity or moisture.
The device is only to be used in a technically perfect condition as well as in accordance with its intended use, in
a safety-conscious and hazard-conscious manner, observing the operating instructions! In particular, faults that
may affect safety must be rectified immediately!

1.3 EMC Protection Measures
If the product is installed and operated in a system with other equipment, accessories and compo-
nents, the system as a whole and all its equipment, accessories and components must conform to the
EMC directives and standards. The system integrator is responsible for compliance with the EMC Direc-
tive 2014/30/EU and national EMC laws for installed systems, system accessories and system compo-
nents that have not been supplied or tested and approved by GOEPELelectronics as manufacturer of
the equipment.
1.4 EU Declaration of Conformity
The EU Declaration of Conformity can be found in the appendix to this documentation.
1.5 General Safety Regulations
To avoid personal injury and / or property damage, follow these general safety instructions.
Risk of accident due to electric shock or fire
•In addition to the operating instructions, observe the legal requirements and regulations for accident
prevention and environmental protection of the countries in which you operate the system.
•Do not make any changes to the system without the written consent of the manufacturer.
•Never operate damaged devices or components.
•Keep liquids away from the unit and do not place any containers with liquid on the unit.
Danger of tripping or falling due to improperly laid cables
•Lay cables so that nobody can step on them or trip over them.
•Never try to stretch cables to enable a connection. The cables must always have enough clearance.
Damage caused by improper use or failure to observe the safety instructions and warnings is not covered by the
warranty. For consequential damages no liability is assumed by GOEPELelectronics !

2.1 System Requirements
Your system must comply with the following requirements:
•At least 4-times PCIe slot
•At least Dual Core CPU
•Windows 7 or later
2.2 Hardware Installation
Please make sure that all hardware installation work is done while the system is off! The power
supply should be disconnected.
After you have completely unpacked the G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller, please check the tight fit of the
transceiver boards.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system and destroy electronic components. This can
lead to irreparable damage to the PCIe board or to the system in which the board is operated. The
result is unexpected malfunctions of your test system. Never touch the board surface, connector ter-
minals or electronic components.
Please also use the manual for your PCIe system. If necessary, further installation instructions to be
observed are included.
Open your PCIe™ system according to its circumstances. Select a free slot in your PCIe™ system. Remove the
existing slot plate of the selected slot. For this, the fastening screws must be loosened.
The board should be inserted carefully in the prepared slot. After contacting the board, it is fastened to the front
panel with the screw. Thus, the board is installed properly. Afterwards, if necessary, the work on the system must
be carried out to make it ready for operation again.
Finally, connect the communication interfaces of the G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller with the devices that you
want to test (DUT).
2.3 Driver Installation
The G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller can be operated under Windows 7, 8 and 10 as well as under Linux.
2.3.1 Windows Device Driver
PCIe devices can run on Windows 7, 8 and 10. The plug-and-play capability of Windows automatically launches
a driver installation for each newly detected hardware component through the Hardware Wizard. With the exe
file included on the enclosed CD, the Hardware Wizard can install the device driver. A restart of the system is not
mandatory.
2.3.2 G-API
The G-API (Goepel electronics Application Programming Interface) is a software interface. It supports various
hardware products from GOEPELelectronics and gives the user the opportunity to integrate them into their
