Description
The National Instruments GPIB-140A GPIB Extender carries the part number 186104B-01. It is also known by several alternative part numbers, including 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06. This device falls under the GPIB category and is designed to extend the capabilities of GPIB systems.
The GPIB-140A model is compatible with the IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, ensuring it can work seamlessly with a wide range of GPIB equipment. It allows for a maximum distance of 1 km with a pair of extenders, making it an excellent choice for setups requiring long-distance communication between devices.
One of the key features of the GPIB-140A is its maximum transfer rate, which is faster than 2.8 Mbytes when using the HS488 protocol. This high-speed data transfer capability is facilitated by the use of fiber-optic cables, ensuring both speed and reliability in data transmission.
Setting up the GPIB-140A is straightforward, as it requires no additional hardware. Additionally, its operation is software transparent, meaning it does not require any special software modifications to function within a GPIB system. This combination of features makes the GPIB-140A a powerful extender solution for expanding the reach and efficiency of GPIB networks.
