The National Instruments GPIB SCSI Controller, model GPIB-SCSI-A, comes with a variety of part numbers, including 776569-01, 776569-02, 776569-03, 776569-04, 776569-05, and 776569-06. This device falls into the GPIB category and is designed to offer efficient control and management of both GPIB and SCSI devices.
It can control up to 14 GPIB instruments and up to 7 SCSI devices, providing a versatile solution for various application needs. The controller operates in two control modes, namely SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), allowing for asynchronous data transfer.
Featuring IEEE-488.2 functions including Talker, Listener, and Controller, it ensures reliable communication and control over connected devices. The SCSI addresses are software selectable, offering flexibility in device management. The controller boasts a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB read into buffer memory, 800 kbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB reads from buffer memory, and 600 kbytes/s for straight-through transfers (no buffering) SCSI reads/GPIB writes.
It supports input voltage options of 120-240 VAC and is equipped with a 256 kbytes RAM buffer to facilitate efficient data handling and storage. This makes the National Instruments GPIB SCSI Controller an ideal choice for professionals looking for robust and flexible control over GPIB and SCSI devices.
