Description
The GPIB-SCSI-A model is a GPIB SCSI Controller manufactured by National Instruments. It is designed to control up to 14 GPIB instruments and up to 7 SCSI devices, making it a versatile choice for various applications. The controller supports both SCSI(S) and GPIB(G) control modes, providing flexibility in operations.
One of the key features of the GPIB-SCSI-A is its support for asynchronous data transfer at the SCSI port. This feature enhances the controller’s efficiency in managing data transfers. Additionally, it is equipped with IEEE-488.2 functions, including Talker, Listener, and Controller capabilities, further emphasizing its comprehensive control functionalities.
The SCSI addresses of the GPIB-SCSI-A are software selectable, offering ease of configuration and customization according to specific requirements. When it comes to data transfer rates, the controller excels with a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB read into buffer. The transfer rate for SCSI read and GPIB read from buffer is 800 kbytes/s, and for straight-through transfers (SCSI read/GPIB write), it is 600 kbytes/s.
Furthermore, the GPIB-SCSI-A is designed to operate within a wide range of input voltage options, specifically from 120-240 VAC, ensuring compatibility with various power supplies globally. Its part numbers include 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06, indicating the availability of multiple versions to cater to different needs.
