Description
The 776465-01 is a highly specialized part designed for GPIB applications, specifically categorized under the model GPIB-SPRC-S. This model is also known by its descriptive name, the GPIB-SPRC-S (GPIB-SCSI-A), which comes equipped with a 2 m Type X1 cable, tailored for Sharp devices. As an External SCSI-GPIB Controller, it operates at a voltage of 240 V, ensuring robust performance across a variety of applications.
Compatibility is a key feature of this controller, as it supports SCSI ports, along with NI-488.2 driver software, and is adaptable with LabWindows/CVI software on Solaris, as well as NI 488M for AIX and IRIX systems. It has been meticulously designed for SBus and SPARCstation, making it a versatile choice for users within these ecosystems.
As a bus controller, it is specifically engineered to manage standalone instruments from external PCs, enhancing the functionality and efficiency of setups. Adherence to standards is evident, with compliance to IEEE-488.2 and HS-488, ensuring a high level of reliability and performance. At its core, the controller utilizes the TNT4882C ASIC chip, which is known for its high efficiency and reliability.
Among its special features are a Direct memory access (DMA) controller and POS circuit for I/O addressing, simplifying the setup process as it requires no switches or jumpers for configuration. Despite its announcement as obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, offering a lifeline for systems requiring this specific model.
