    Description

    “`html

    The GPIB-SCSI-A model is a product of National Instruments, designed to be a versatile GPIB SCSI Controller. This controller stands out with its ability to control up to 14 GPIB instruments and 7 SCSI devices, showcasing its broad compatibility and high-efficiency levels.

    It operates under two main control modes: SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), providing flexibility in application. The GPIB-SCSI-A supports essential IEEE-488.2 functions such as Talker, Listener, and Controller, ensuring comprehensive communication capabilities with connected devices.

    The SCSI port facilitates asynchronous data transfer, with a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB read into the buffer. When reading from the buffer, whether it be SCSI read or GPIB read, the rate is up to 800 kbytes/s, and for straight-through transfers, it maintains a speed of 600 kbytes/s.

    This controller is designed with versatility in mind, accepting an input voltage range of 120-240 VAC and equipped with a 256 kbytes input RAM buffer to handle data efficiently. The maximum current requirement details are tailored to ensure optimal performance under varying operational conditions.

    With part numbers ranging from 776569-01 to 776569-06, the GPIB-SCSI-A offers a range of options to meet specific user needs, further emphasizing National Instruments’ commitment to providing high-quality, flexible solutions for GPIB and SCSI device control.
