Description
The National Instruments GPIB SCSI Controller, model GPIB-SCSI-A, is a multifunctional device designed to facilitate communication and control between multiple devices. This controller can manage up to 14 GPIB instruments and seven SCSI devices, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
It features two modes of control, SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), allowing for flexible operation depending on the specific requirements of the task at hand. The device boasts impressive maximum transfer rates, with SCSI/GPIB read into buffer memory achieving speeds of 1.0 Mbytes/s, SCSI reads and GPIB reads from buffer memory at 800 kbytes/s, and straight-through transfers at 600 kbytes/s.
Designed to accommodate a wide range of power supplies, it accepts an input voltage of 120-240 VAC and incorporates a 256 kbytes input RAM buffer to enhance performance. The maximum current requirement for this device is 90 mA at 120 VAC. Connectivity is facilitated through a 24 pin IEEE-488 GPIB connector and two 50-pin SCSI shielded I/O connectors, ensuring compatibility with a broad array of instruments and devices.
Part numbers for this model include 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, indicating the availability of different configurations to meet specific user needs. Whether for industrial, research, or educational purposes, the National Instruments GPIB SCSI Controller stands out as a reliable and efficient solution for managing GPIB and SCSI devices.
