The GPIB-120A is a highly advanced GPIB Expander/Isolator designed for sophisticated electronics testing and measurement setups. This product comes under multiple part numbers, including 776564-01, 776564-02, 776564-03, 776564-04, 776564-05, and 776564-06, ensuring a wide range of availability for various user needs.
One of the remarkable features of the GPIB-120A is its capacity to increase the maximum number of GPIB system devices from 15 to 28, significantly expanding the scope of testing and measurement possibilities. It adheres to the IEEE 488.1 interface standard, ensuring compatibility with a broad array of devices.
Another key advantage is its transparent software requirement, which eliminates the need for rewriting the user’s application software, thereby providing a seamless integration experience. Additionally, the GPIB-120A effectively doubles the cable limit extension from 20 meters, offering greater flexibility in device setup and placement.
The device features a unique bus configuration consisting of two busses, Bus A and Bus B, each with identical circuitry but operating in isolation. This design ensures robust performance and reliability. The operating and breakdown isolation are rated at 60 V and 1600 V, respectively, highlighting its safety and durability.
Compatibility with various connector types, such as Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ type, ensures the GPIB-120A can be integrated into many different setups. Its front panel indicators, including seven LEDs, provide clear and immediate feedback on the status of the Active Controller and System Controller, enhancing user interaction and monitoring capabilities.
Furthermore, the GPIB-120A accommodates 16 signal lines, comprising 5 interface management lines, 3 handshake lines, and 8 data lines, facilitating comprehensive control and data transfer capabilities. Lastly, with a power requirement of a typical 27 VA, it operates efficiently without demanding excessive
