Description
The GPIB-140A with part number 186135B-32 falls under the category of GPIB devices. It is recognized for its utility and efficiency in extending GPIB bus systems. This particular model is versatile, with alternative part numbers including 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06. As a GPIB Bus Extender, it is engineered to be compatible with both IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, ensuring a broad range of device interoperability.
One of the key features of this GPIB Bus Extender is its ability to enable a maximum system length of 1 km when used in pairs. This is a significant improvement, allowing for extended reach and flexibility in the setup of GPIB systems. The extender employs a buffered transfer technique, which helps in maintaining the integrity and speed of data transmission across the extended distances. Speaking of speed, the GPIB-140A boasts a maximum data rate that is faster than 2.8 Mbytes, leveraging the HS488 protocol for high-speed data transfers.
Another advantageous feature of this extender is its software compatibility. It is designed to be software transparent, which means that it does not require any modifications to the existing software to function properly. This makes it an easy-to-integrate solution for extending the reach of GPIB systems without the need for additional software adjustments. Moreover, it does not require any additional hardware to operate, simplifying the setup process and reducing the overall cost of system expansion.
In summary, the GPIB-140A extender is a highly capable and efficient solution for extending the reach of GPIB bus systems, offering high-speed data transfer, compatibility with standard IEEE protocols, and ease of integration without the need for additional hardware or software modifications.
