Description
The GPIB-SCSI-A is a specialized controller manufactured by National Instruments. This device is designed to act as a GPIB SCSI Controller, facilitating the integration and control of both GPIB and SCSI devices within a single system. It supports multiple part numbers, including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, providing flexibility for various system requirements.
One of the key features of this controller is its ability to manage up to 14 GPIB instruments and up to 7 SCSI devices, making it an ideal solution for complex setups that require the simultaneous control of a significant number of devices. The controller operates in various control modes, specifically SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), and utilizes an asynchronous data transfer mode for efficient communication.
Furthermore, the GPIB-SCSI-A supports essential IEEE-488.2 functions such as Talker, Listener, and Controller, ensuring compatibility and seamless operation within GPIB networks. It boasts a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s into buffer memory, with SCSI reads and GPIB reads from buffer memory achieving speeds up to 800 kbytes/s. Additionally, it offers a straight-through transfer rate (no buffering) of 600 kbytes/s, optimizing data flow and minimizing latency.
The device is designed to operate within a wide range of input voltage options, specifically 120-240 VAC, providing versatility in various power environments. It also features an input RAM buffer of 256 kbytes, enhancing its ability to handle large volumes of data efficiently. This combination of features and specifications makes the GPIB-SCSI-A an excellent choice for professionals seeking a robust and versatile GPIB SCSI controller.
