Description
The GPIB-140A is a high-performance GPIB Bus Extender designed to meet the needs of applications requiring extended GPIB communication distances. It is compatible with the IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of GPIB-enabled devices.
This model comes with a variety of part numbers, including 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06, providing a range of options to suit different system requirements.
One of the key features of the GPIB-140A is its ability to extend the GPIB bus communication over a maximum distance of 1 km when used with a pair of GPIB Extenders. This is particularly useful for setups where devices are far apart or when environmental conditions prevent the use of shorter connections.
The device employs a buffered transfer technique, allowing for efficient data handling and minimizing the risk of data loss during transmission. This is especially important in applications where data integrity is critical.
Moreover, the GPIB-140A boasts a maximum speed exceeding 2.8 Mbytes when utilizing the HS488 protocol. This high-speed capability ensures that data transfer processes are completed swiftly, enhancing overall system performance.
Notably, the GPIB-140A does not require any additional hardware for its operation, making it a convenient and cost-effective solution for extending GPIB communications. Additionally, it is software transparent, meaning that no modifications are needed in existing applications to incorporate the GPIB-140A into a system. This feature significantly simplifies the integration process, allowing for quick and easy setup without the need for extensive software adjustments.
