Description
The GPIB-SCSI-A model, manufactured by National Instruments, is a specialized GPIB SCSI Controller designed for seamless integration and control of multiple devices. This controller is capable of managing up to 14 GPIB instruments and up to 7 SCSI devices, allowing for a versatile and efficient setup in various technical environments.
It supports dual control modes, specifically SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), to accommodate different types of devices and configurations. Moreover, it includes comprehensive IEEE-488.2 functions such as Talker, Listener, and Controller, ensuring compatibility and control across a broad range of instruments.
One of the key features of the GPIB-SCSI-A is its software selectable SCSI addresses, which provide flexibility in device management and setup. The controller boasts impressive data transfer rates, with a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB read into buffer operations, 800 kbytes/s for SCSI read and GPIB read from buffer operations, and 600 kbytes/s for SCSI read/GPIB write with no buffering.
Designed to operate within a broad input voltage range of 120-240 VAC, it accommodates various power supplies and ensures reliability in different working conditions. Additionally, the inclusion of a 256 kbytes RAM buffer enhances its performance by facilitating efficient data processing and storage.
The GPIB-SCSI-A controller is available under several part numbers, including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, offering a range of options to meet specific requirements and configurations.
