Description
The product detailed in this specification is identified by part numbers 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06. It falls under the category of GPIB and is designated as model GPIB-140A. This model is designed to be fully compatible with the IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, ensuring a wide range of functionality and interoperability with GPIB-compatible instruments and systems.
One of the key features of the GPIB-140A is its ability to support a maximum cable length of up to 1 km when used in conjunction with a pair of GPIB-140A extenders. This capability significantly enhances the flexibility and application range of GPIB networks by allowing for extended distances between connected devices without compromising signal integrity or data transfer quality.
The model employs a buffered transfer technique, which enhances the efficiency and reliability of data transmission. This method facilitates a maximum data rate that exceeds 2.8 Mbytes/s, leveraging the HS488 protocol to achieve faster data transfer speeds. Such performance is ideal for applications requiring high-speed communication between devices.
Another important aspect of the GPIB-140A is its software transparency. This feature ensures that the use of this model does not necessitate any software modifications, thereby providing ease of integration and use within existing GPIB networks. The primary application of this product is focused on extending GPIB cable length without affecting the system’s integrity, making it an invaluable tool for setups requiring flexibility in device placement and network configuration.
