Description
The National Instruments GPIB-ENET Hardware kit, with part numbers 181950G-31 and 320910A-01, falls under the GPIB category. This model, known as GPIB-ENET, is specifically designed for the ESP-488 (Engineering Software Package), providing an efficient solution for connecting GPIB devices over a network.
It features an Ethernet RJ-45 I/O connection, ensuring compatibility with most network setups and allowing for simple integration into existing systems. The GPIB-ENET supports both IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, making it versatile for a wide range of applications.
Compatibility extends across various operating systems, including Mac OS X, Linux, and Microsoft Windows, ensuring that the GPIB-ENET can be used in diverse computing environments. This device enables sharing a single GPIB system among multiple network users, and allows for the control of IEEE488 and network devices from any location within an Ethernet-based (LAN) TCP/IP network.
With the capability to support up to 14 GPIB devices from multiple hosts, and allowing for up to 100 GPIB-ENET/1000 interfaces, this hardware kit offers significant scalability for growing systems. It also features a password-protected user interface, ensuring secure access and control over connected devices.
Included with the hardware is the NI-488.2 software, enhancing the kit’s functionality and ease of use. The power supply is designed to accommodate both 100-120 VAC and 220-240 VAC, making it suitable for global use without the need for additional power adapters. This hardware kit is particularly suitable for network communication among IEEE 488 devices, and for sharing one GPIB system across a network, enhancing efficiency and productivity in a variety of settings.
