Description
The 776584-11 is an external SCSI-GPIB Controller that falls under the GPIB category, specifically the model GPIB-SPRC-S. This particular part has been designated as a replacement for the older part number 776584-01. Designed to operate at 120V, it was manufactured by National Instruments, a leading company in the field.
This device is engineered for use with SBus and SCSI ports, making it a versatile addition to various setups. It is fully compatible with NI-488.2 driver software, along with LabWindows/CVI for Solaris, and NI 488M for AIX and IRIX. This compatibility ensures that it can be integrated smoothly into existing systems without the need for extensive adjustments or overhauls.
The main application of this device is to control GPIB instruments with Sun SPARCstation, providing users with a reliable and efficient way of managing their instruments. It adheres to IEEE-488.2 standards and HS-488 specifications, ensuring compatibility with IEEE NAT-4882 GPIB devices. This makes it a highly versatile tool that can be used in a wide range of settings and with various devices.
One of the standout features of this GPIB controller is the inclusion of the TNT4882C ASIC chip, which enhances its performance and reliability. Additionally, it boasts Direct Memory Access (DMA) and a POS circuit for I/O addressing, simplifying the configuration process as it requires no switches or jumpers to operate.
Although it is listed as obsolete, the 776584-11 GPIB controller is still available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that even systems that rely on older technology can continue to function and benefit from this high-quality, efficient device.
