    Description

    The National Instruments GPIB SCSI Controller is a versatile device, encompassing a wide range of specifications designed to meet the needs of various applications. It comes in multiple part numbers, including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, ensuring flexibility and compatibility for different setups.

    This product boasts the capability to control up to 14 GPIB instruments and 7 SCSI devices, making it an ideal solution for setups requiring extensive instrument control. It supports both SCSI(S) and GPIB(G) control modes, providing the adaptability needed for various operational requirements. Furthermore, data transfer is executed asynchronously on the SCSI port, enhancing efficiency and performance.

    The controller is compliant with IEEE-488.2 functions, including Talker, Listener, and Controller roles, which significantly expands its utility in different scenarios. SCSI addressing is software selectable, offering further customization to fit specific system configurations.

    When it comes to performance, the device delivers outstanding data transfer rates. It can achieve a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB read into buffer operations, and up to 800 kbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB from buffer operations. Additionally, for SCSI read/GPIB write with no buffering, it still maintains a high rate of 600 kbytes/s.

    The controller operates within a wide range of input voltage options, from 120-240 VAC, and is equipped with a 256 kbytes RAM buffer to ensure smooth data handling. Its maximum current requirement is 90 mA at 120 VAC, indicating efficient power usage.

    In conclusion, the National Instruments GPIB SCSI Controller is a powerful, flexible solution for managing GPIB instruments and SCSI devices. Its wide range of features and specifications make it an essential tool for professionals requiring reliable
