Description
The National Instruments GPIB-1394 GPIB Controller for FireWire is a critical component designed to offer seamless integration and control of GPIB instruments through the IEEE 1394 FireWire connection interface. With the part number 184786B-01 and an alternate identifier of 777738-01, this device falls under the category of GPIB devices, specifically modeled as GPIB-1394.
It is engineered to support up to 14 programmable instruments, making it an essential tool for laboratories and research facilities that require a robust connection to a variety of instruments. The GPIB-1394 is compatible with a range of software including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, ensuring a broad spectrum of application and utility. Additionally, it utilizes the NI-488.2 driver software, which provides users with a reliable and efficient way to communicate with their GPIB instruments.
This device is designed to operate on older operating systems, specifically Windows Me/98, catering to specific legacy systems that are still in operation today. For ease of installation and flexibility in various environments, it offers a rack-mountable option, although this is optional and can be tailored to the user’s specific needs.
One of the key features of the GPIB-1394 includes its portability, hot-pluggability, and the ability to be automatically recognized and configured by the system, which significantly simplifies the setup process. It supports various IEEE 488.2 functions such as listener, talker, service requests, serial and parallel polling, and pass/receive control, providing a comprehensive range of capabilities for managing and controlling GPIB instruments.
When it comes to data transfer, the GPIB-1394 offers transfer rate options of S100 (100 Mbits/s), S200 (200 Mbits/s), and S400 (400 Mbits/s), ensuring that users can select the most appropriate speed for their specific requirements. For connectivity, it is equipped with 3 standard 6-pin sockets for IEEE-1394, and 1 standard
