Description
The PCIe-GPIB is a specialized interface card designed for high-speed data transfer over the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB), bearing part numbers 778930-01, 780575-01, and 779779-01. It falls under the GPIB category and is fully compatible with the IEEE 488 standard, ensuring seamless integration into existing GPIB systems.
This model utilizes a PCI Express x1 slot, adhering to the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 1.0a. It offers impressive transfer rates, achieving up to 1536 Kbytes/s in 3-wire mode and up to 7885 Kbytes/s in HS488 mode, making it ideal for applications requiring rapid data exchange.
At its core, the PCIe-GPIB is powered by the NI TNT ASIC, a sophisticated IEEE 488.2 controller that supports both listener and talker interfaces with integrated transceivers. This ensures reliable and efficient communication across GPIB networks. Furthermore, the card features a 26-position latching connector, which connects to devices via a cable to the IEEE 488 24-pin connector, providing a secure and durable connection.
In terms of power requirements, the device operates at 320 mA at +3.3 V, with a maximum consumption of 560 mA. It is compatible with both Windows and Linux operating systems, offering flexibility in various computing environments. The PCIe-GPIB’s dimensions are 3.840 x 2.712 inches, compact enough to fit in standard computer chassis without compromising on performance.
Designed to operate reliably in a wide range of environments, it can function within an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 65 °C and a storage temperature range of -20 °C to 65 °C. This robust temperature tolerance ensures the PCIe-GPIB remains operational in both typical and challenging conditions, making it an excellent choice for industrial and scientific applications where reliability is paramount.
