Description
The GPIB-140A is identified by part numbers 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06. This device falls within the GPIB category, showcasing its specialized functionality in the realm of General Purpose Interface Bus systems.
The GPIB-140A model is described as a GPIB-140A/2 High-Speed GPIB Extender capable of extending up to 2 km with a power requirement aligned with the U.S. 120 VAC standard. This device is designed to significantly enhance the reach of GPIB systems, ensuring reliable and efficient communication over extended distances.
Compatibility is a core strength of the GPIB-140A, offering seamless integration with both IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards. This ensures that the device can be easily incorporated into existing GPIB networks without the need for extensive modifications or compatibility adjustments.
With a maximum system length of 1 km using a single pair of extenders, the GPIB-140A provides an effective solution for extending GPIB communications. This is further enhanced by its transmission technique, which relies on buffered transfer methods to ensure data integrity and speed over long distances.
The device offers a maximum data rate that exceeds 2.8 Mbytes/s when operating under the HS488 protocol. This high-speed capability ensures that data transfer remains swift and efficient, even when operating at the maximum supported distances.
Software transparency is another key feature of the GPIB-140A, ensuring that the device can be integrated into systems with minimal software adjustments. This feature emphasizes the ease of use and flexibility of the extender, making it a valuable addition to any GPIB setup.
The connection method employed by the GPIB-140A is through fiber-optic cable, offering superior data transmission rates and reliability over traditional copper cables. This choice of medium not only enhances the performance of the GPIB-140A but also contributes to its ability to support high-speed data transfer across extended distances.
