Description
The National Instruments GPIB-SCSI-A is a GPIB SCSI Controller designed to interface with a variety of devices, enhancing system integration and connectivity. This controller is available in multiple part numbers, including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, ensuring a wide range of compatibility and options for users.
Capable of supporting up to 14 GPIB devices and up to 7 SCSI devices, this controller is versatile and can meet the needs of various setups and configurations. It offers different control modes, specifically SCSI (S) and GPIB (G), providing flexibility in operation and device management.
The GPIB-SCSI-A offers impressive data transfer rates, with a maximum transfer rate for SCSI/GPIB read into buffer at 1.0 Mbytes/s. For SCSI read and GPIB read from buffer, it can achieve up to 800 kbytes/s, and for straight-through transfers, it supports speeds up to 600 kbytes/s. These speeds ensure efficient data handling and system performance.
Designed to operate within a wide input voltage range of 120-240 VAC, and with a maximum current requirement of 90 mA at 120 VAC, this controller is adaptable to various power supplies and environments. It also features a 256 kbytes RAM buffer, enhancing its data processing capabilities.
The GPIB-SCSI-A is equipped with a 24 pin IEEE-488 GPIB port connector, ensuring compatibility with a broad array of GPIB devices. This level of connectivity positions the GPIB-SCSI-A as a critical component in sophisticated instrumentation and control systems, providing users with a reliable and efficient solution for their GPIB and SCSI interface requirements.
