Description
The GPIB-SCSI-A is a specialized interface device designed by National Instruments for integrating GPIB instruments and SCSI devices into a single, cohesive system. This device is part of a category known as GPIB, indicating its primary function in General Purpose Interface Bus operations.
It comes in several part numbers including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, offering a range of options for various applications. The model is specifically designed for GPIB-Sun4-S, and it’s tailored for the Australian market with a 240 VAC power specification.
The GPIB-SCSI-A can control up to 14 GPIB instruments and up to 7 SCSI devices, making it highly versatile for a wide range of laboratory and industrial applications. It supports both SCSI(S) and GPIB(G) control modes, allowing for flexible integration of different types of devices.
When it comes to data transfer rates, the device is highly efficient, offering 1.0 Mbytes/s for SCSI to GPIB read into buffer, 800 kbytes/s for SCSI read and GPIB read from buffer, and 600 kbytes/s for straight-through transfers. This ensures swift and reliable data handling for critical applications.
The device is designed to operate with input voltage options ranging from 120-240 VAC, accommodating a wide range of power supplies. It also features a 256 kbyte RAM buffer for efficient data management and a maximum current requirement of 90 mA at 120 VAC, highlighting its energy efficiency.
In summary, the GPIB-SCSI-A model by National Instruments is a highly capable and versatile device designed to bridge the gap between GPIB instruments and SCSI devices, offering robust control and data transfer capabilities in a variety of settings.
