Description
The GPIB-140A is a GPIB Bus Extender that falls under the GPIB category. It is designed to facilitate the extension of GPIB communication over longer distances, specifically enabling a maximum system length of up to 1 km with a pair of extenders. This capability is significantly enhanced by the use of a 1 km fiber-optic cable, ensuring reliable and extended communication ranges for complex setups.
Compatibility with the industry standards IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 ensures that the GPIB-140A can be integrated into a wide variety of GPIB-based systems without compatibility issues. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity and reliability of data transfer across extended distances.
The device employs a buffered transfer technique, which not only secures data integrity but also achieves transfer speeds that are faster than 2.8 Mbytes using the HS488 protocol. Such high-speed data transfer is essential for applications requiring quick and efficient communication between devices.
One of the key features of the GPIB-140A is its ease of integration into existing setups. It requires no modification to software, being software transparent. This simplifies the process of extending GPIB systems, as it eliminates the need for additional software customization.
The GPIB-140A is available in multiple part numbers, including 777997-01, 777997-02, 777997-03, 777997-04, 777997-05, and 777997-06. This variety ensures that specific configuration and supply needs can be met, providing flexibility in system design and implementation.
