Description
The National Instruments GPIB-SCSI-A GPIB SCSI Controller is a sophisticated device designed to manage multiple instruments and devices efficiently. This controller is identified by various Part Numbers including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, ensuring a wide range of options for specific requirements.
It boasts an impressive Communication Capability, supporting up to 14 GPIB instruments and 7 SCSI devices simultaneously. This feature is critical for complex setups requiring numerous instruments to operate in harmony. The controller operates in two Modes of Control, specifically SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), providing versatility in connecting and controlling devices.
The SCSI Port Data Transfer is asynchronous, allowing for efficient data handling. Furthermore, it supports key IEEE-488.2 Functions such as Talker, Listener, and Controller, making it a highly adaptable and functional component in any setup. The SCSI Addresses are software selectable, offering flexibility and ease of configuration according to the needs of the system.
When it comes to performance, the controller does not disappoint. It has a Maximum Transfer Rate (SCSI/GPIB Read into Buffer) of 1.0 Mbytes/s, a Transfer Rate (SCSI and GPIB Reads from Buffer) of 800 kbytes/s, and a Transfer Rate (Straight-Through, No Buffering) of 600 kbytes/s. These rates ensure swift and reliable data transfer, enhancing the overall efficiency of operations.
The device is designed to operate on Input Voltage Options of 120-240 VAC, making it suitable for use in various regions with different power supplies. It also features a RAM Buffer of 256 kbytes, optimizing the data handling process. The Maximum Current Requirement is 90 mA at 120 VAC, indicating its energy efficiency. Lastly, it is equipped with Standard 24 connectors, providing ample connectivity options for a wide array of devices and instruments.
