Description
The 776584-07 is a product categorized under GPIB with the model name GPIB-SPRC-S. This particular model is designed for usage in Japan, supporting a voltage of 100VAC, despite being listed in the specifications table as 240 V. It serves as an External SCSI-GPIB Controller, facilitating the control of GPIB instruments specifically with Sun, SPARCstation setups.
Its compatibility extends to SCSI ports and SBus, making it a versatile choice for various setups. Software support is broad, including NI-488.2, LabWindows/CVI for Solaris, NI 488M for AIX, and IRIX, ensuring broad application coverage across different operating systems such as Solaris, AIX, and IRIX.
The device adheres to the high-speed (HS-488) specifications and supports IEEE NAT-4882 GPIB devices, aligning with the IEEE-488.2 standards. At its core, it employs the TNT4882C ASIC chip, optimized for performance and reliability.
Its architecture is compatible with IBM-6000 micro-channel systems and utilizes POS for I/O addressing, ensuring seamless integration and operation. The inclusion of a Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller, along with the absence of switches or jumpers, highlights its ease of use and advanced features designed for user convenience.
Despite its Obsolete Status, as announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, offering continued support for users who rely on this specific model for their GPIB interfacing needs.
