Description
The GPIB-SCSI-A model, manufactured by National Instruments, encompasses a versatile array of part numbers, including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06. This product is expertly designed to control up to 14 GPIB instruments and 7 SCSI devices, providing a comprehensive solution for various application needs.
It operates in two primary modes of control, namely SCSI (S) and GPIB (G), allowing for asynchronous data transfer characteristics. The device is capable of performing essential IEEE-488.2 functions such as Talker, Listener, and Controller, enhancing its utility and flexibility in diverse operational environments.
The SCSI addresses are software selectable, ensuring easy configuration and integration into existing systems. The GPIB-SCSI-A boasts impressive data transfer rates, achieving a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s when reading into the buffer from SCSI/GPIB and 800 kbytes/s when reading from the buffer. Without buffering, the transfer rate stands at 600 kbytes/s, demonstrating the device’s efficiency in handling data.
Designed to accommodate a wide range of operational voltages, it supports input voltage options of 120-240 VAC, with a maximum current of 90 mA at 120 VAC. Additionally, the inclusion of a 256 kbytes input RAM buffer further enhances its performance capabilities, making the GPIB-SCSI-A a robust and reliable choice for integrating GPIB instruments with SCSI devices.
