Description
The PCIe-GPIB is a GPIB Instrument Control Device designed specifically for PCI Express enabled computers. It adheres to the IEEE 488 standard, making it compatible with a wide range of GPIB instruments. This device is identified by part numbers 778930-01, 780575-01, and 779779-01, indicating different configurations or package offerings within the same product line.
One of the key features of the PCIe-GPIB is its impressive transfer rate, which can reach up to 1536 Kbytes/s in 3-wire mode and up to 7885 Kbytes/s in HS488 mode. This high-speed data transfer capability ensures efficient communication with GPIB instruments, significantly optimizing performance for data-intensive applications.
The device connects to a computer through a x1 PCI Express interface, compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 1.0a. This ensures a seamless and reliable connection to the host computer, leveraging the high-speed data transfer capabilities of PCI Express.
At its core, the PCIe-GPIB uses NI TNT ASIC technology, which includes an integrated IEEE 488.2 controller, listener, and talker interfaces, and transceivers. This chip technology is fundamental to the device’s high performance and reliability in controlling GPIB instruments.
For connectivity, the device features a 26-position latching connector that links via a cable to an IEEE 488 24-pin connector. This ensures a secure and stable connection to GPIB instruments, minimizing the risk of disconnections during critical operations.
Regarding power consumption, the PCIe-GPIB operates at 320 mA at +3.3 V, with a maximum consumption of 560 mA. Its physical dimensions are 3.840 x 2.712 inches, making it a compact solution that can easily fit into various computer setups without occupying excessive space.
It is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 65 °C, and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 65 °C. This wide temperature
