Description
The Part Number 186135A-32 represents a crucial component in the realm of GPIB devices, known specifically as the GPIB-140A. This device is not only identified by its unique part number but is also compatible with a range of other part numbers including 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06, ensuring a wide scope of interoperability and flexibility for users across different systems.
Classified under the category of GPIB, the GPIB-140A serves as a GPIB Bus Extender, designed to enhance the functionality and reach of GPIB systems. It stands out due to its compatibility with both IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, which are foundational to its operational capabilities and utility in various professional settings.
One of the key technical specifications of the GPIB-140A is its ability to maintain the maximum GPIB system length at the standard IEEE 488 limit of 20 meters. However, it significantly extends this capability by allowing for a maximum extension distance of up to 1 kilometer when utilized with fiber-optic cable, thereby overcoming traditional distance limitations and enhancing system flexibility.
In terms of performance, the device boasts a data transfer rate that exceeds 2.8 Mbytes/s, thanks to the implementation of the HS488 protocol. This facilitates faster data exchanges and improves overall system efficiency. Additionally, its operation is software transparent, meaning that it does not require any modifications to be made in existing applications, thereby simplifying integration and usage.
Among its notable features is the buffered transfer technique, which contributes to its high performance and reliability. Furthermore, the ease of deployment stands out as a significant advantage, as it necessitates minimal effort and does not require the addition of any extra hardware, offering a user-friendly solution for extending the capabilities of GPIB systems.
