Description
The National Instruments GPIB SCSI Controller, model GPIB-SCSI-A, stands as a pivotal device designed for advanced integration and control capabilities. This controller supports an array of part numbers including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, ensuring a wide compatibility range for various setups.
Categorized under the GPIB segment, this controller allows for the management of up to 14 GPIB instruments and 7 SCSI devices, showcasing its robust control capability. It operates in two primary modes of control, SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), which enhances its flexibility in handling different types of devices and instruments.
When it comes to data transfer rates, the GPIB-SCSI-A controller excels with its high-speed functionalities. It offers a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB read into buffer operations, 800 kbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB read from buffer, and 600 kbytes/s for straight-through transfers. Such speeds are indicative of the controller’s efficiency in managing data across connected devices.
The controller is designed to operate within a wide range of input voltage options, specifically 120-240 VAC, thereby accommodating various power supply standards. Furthermore, it is equipped with a 256 kbytes input RAM buffer, ensuring adequate memory capacity for handling data during transfer processes. Its maximum current requirement stands at 90 mA at 120 VAC, highlighting its energy efficiency.
Connectivity is a forte of the GPIB-SCSI-A controller, featuring a 24 pin IEEE-488 GPIB connector and two 50-pin shielded I/O SCSI connectors. These connectors ensure secure and reliable connections with GPIB instruments and SCSI devices, respectively, further emphasizing the controller’s adaptability and versatility in various application scenarios.
