Description
The GPIB-USB-HS model, carrying part numbers 778927-01, 779704-01, 780570-01, 779705-01, and 187965-01, falls under the GPIB category. This model is renowned for its impressive data transfer rates, offering up to 1830 Kbytes/s under standard operation and up to 7230 Kbytes/s when utilizing HS488 mode. One of its notable features is that it requires no external power source, operating solely on +5 V (VBUS) from USB, which makes it highly efficient in terms of power consumption, typically 140 mA, and at its maximum, 500 mA.
The GPIB-USB-HS is designed with user convenience in mind, evidenced by its direct attachment capability to instruments without the need for a GPIB connection cable. It includes an IEEE 488 24-pin connector, as well as a USB standard type A plug connector, facilitating easy connectivity. The model is also equipped with LED indicators, displaying a READY light that varies in color—amber for Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and green for full-speed USB 1.1—alongside an indicator for GPIB bus activity.
Compatibility with drivers is crucial for operation, and this model supports the National Instruments NI-488.2 driver, ensuring a seamless integration for users. Its physical attributes include a lightweight design at 6.3 oz and compact dimensions of 4.2 x 2.6 x 1.0 inches, which contribute to its portability and ease of installation. Lastly, it operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, demonstrating its reliability across various working environments.
