Description
The GPIB-140A is a product designed specifically for the GPIB category, demonstrating its specialized application in the field of General Purpose Interface Bus technology. It comes with a variety of part numbers including 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06, indicating different configurations or versions available to meet diverse user needs.
This device serves as a GPIB Bus Extender, significantly enhancing the functionality of GPIB systems. It is fully compatible with both IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, ensuring its broad applicability and interoperability within the GPIB ecosystem.
One of the remarkable features of the GPIB-140A is its ability to extend the maximum system length to 1 km with a pair of extenders. This is a substantial improvement over the standard GPIB system length, facilitating the setup of expansive and complex GPIB networks. To achieve such extension, the GPIB-140A utilizes fiber-optic cable, known for its high-speed data transfer capabilities and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
The device employs a buffered transfer technique, which enables it to sustain a maximum transfer rate that is faster than 2.8 Mbytes under the HS488 protocol. This high-speed performance makes the GPIB-140A an ideal solution for applications requiring rapid data transmission over GPIB networks.
Moreover, the GPIB-140A is designed to be software transparent, meaning it requires no modifications to existing software to function. This feature significantly simplifies the integration of the GPIB-140A into existing GPIB setups, making it a user-friendly and efficient solution for extending the capabilities of GPIB systems.
