Description
The National Instruments GPIB-SCSI-A controller is designed to seamlessly integrate GPIB instruments and SCSI devices into a single system. This model, identified by part numbers 776569-01 through 776569-06, is capable of controlling up to 14 GPIB instruments and 7 SCSI devices, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
The controller operates in two modes of control: SCSI (S) and GPIB (G), allowing for flexible system configurations. It utilizes an asynchronous data transfer method, ensuring efficient communication between devices. Furthermore, it is compliant with the IEEE-488.2 standard, guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of equipment.
With a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s for reading into buffer memory, and a SCSI read/GPIB read from buffer memory rate of 800 kbytes/s, this controller is designed for high-performance data handling. Additionally, it offers a straight-through transfer rate of 600 kbytes/s for SCSI reads and GPIB writes, optimizing the speed of direct data transfers.
The GPIB-SCSI-A supports input voltage options ranging from 120-240 VAC, making it suitable for use in various power environments. It is equipped with 256 kbytes of input RAM buffer, enhancing its data processing capabilities. Moreover, its maximum current requirement is 90 mA at 120 VAC, ensuring efficient power use.
In summary, the National Instruments GPIB-SCSI-A controller offers robust control and data transfer capabilities for GPIB and SCSI devices, making it an essential tool for integrating and managing complex systems.
