Description
The National Instruments GPIB-140A GPIB Extender is categorized under the GPIB specification, with the part number 777997-12. This part number also includes additional variants: 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06. Designed to facilitate long-distance communication, the GPIB-140A operates at a voltage specified for Brazil 250VAC.
This extender is fully compatible with the IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, ensuring a broad range of device interfaces. A significant feature of the GPIB-140A is its ability to extend the maximum system length to 1 km when used with a pair of GPIB-140A extenders. This is achieved through the use of fiber-optic cable type, which not only provides a secure data transmission channel but also supports a maximum transfer rate greater than 2.8 Mbytes/s in HS488 protocol.
An additional advantage of the GPIB-140A is its software transparency, meaning it can be integrated into systems without the need for additional software configurations. Furthermore, its deployment requires minimal effort and no additional hardware, making it an efficient solution for extending GPIB networks.
