Description
The National Instruments GPIB SCSI Controller, known by its model GPIB-SCSI-A, is a versatile device designed to manage connections between GPIB instruments and SCSI devices efficiently. This device is compatible with a range of part numbers including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, ensuring a wide applicability across different setups.
Categorized under GPIB, this controller is capable of handling up to 14 GPIB instruments and 7 SCSI devices, making it an ideal choice for setups requiring high connectivity. It operates under two modes of control, specifically SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), providing flexibility in managing data transfers and device control.
The data transfer characteristics of the GPIB-SCSI-A are asynchronous, with a compliance standard of IEEE-488.2, ensuring reliable and efficient data handling. It boasts a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB, with SCSI Read and GPIB Read from Buffer Memory speeds reaching up to 800 kbytes/s. Additionally, for operations without buffering, the SCSI Reads/GPIB Writes capability is rated at 600 kbytes/s.
The device operates within an input voltage range of 120-240 VAC, accommodating various power supplies and geographical locations. It is equipped with a 256 kbytes input RAM buffer for efficient data management and requires a maximum current of 90 mA at 120 VAC, highlighting its energy efficiency.
