Description
The 182535B-32 is a specialized GPIB device, specifically the model GPIB-485CT-A. This device is part of a category that includes various alternate part numbers such as 777146-01, 777146-02, 777146-03, 777146-04, 777146-05, 777146-06, 777147-01, 777147-31, 777148-01, 777148-02, 777148-03, 777148-04, 777148-05, 777148-06, 777149-01, and 777149-31. It provides flexibility in connections with its RS-485 (9-pin D-sub male connector) and GPIB (24-pin female connector).
The GPIB-485CT-A serves as an IEEE 488.2 Controller, highlighting its role in data communication and device control within systems requiring high reliability and robust data exchange. Users can choose between AC and DC power options, accommodating varying power supply situations. This device offers two configuration modes, G (Listener/Talker) and S (GPIB Controller), which can be selected via DIP switches. These switches also allow users to set the data format, baud rate, and GPIB address, ensuring a flexible and customizable setup.
Communication with the device is facilitated through XON/XOFF and Hardware Handshake protocols, providing reliable data transmission and flow control. Furthermore, the device supports both numeric and symbol forms for error and status reporting, catering to both requested and continuous types of reporting. This feature ensures that users are well-informed of the device’s status and any errors that may occur during operation, allowing for timely troubleshooting and maintenance.
