Description
The National Instruments GPIB-SCSI-A is a versatile GPIB SCSI Controller designed to facilitate efficient data transfer and instrumentation control. This device is notable for its ability to manage up to 14 GPIB instruments and up to 7 SCSI devices, showcasing its broad compatibility and utility in various setups. It operates in multiple control modes, specifically SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), offering flexibility in how devices are controlled.
One of the key features of the GPIB-SCSI-A is its asynchronous data transfer characteristics, enabling seamless communication between devices without the need for synchronization. This is further enhanced by its impressive data transfer rates, including a maximum transfer rate of 1.0 Mbytes/s when reading into buffer memory. Additionally, it supports a read from buffer memory rate of 800 kbytes/s and a no buffering write rate of 600 kbytes/s, ensuring efficient data handling across different scenarios.
The device is designed to operate within a 120-240 VAC input voltage range, making it adaptable to various power supplies and geographies. It also features a 256 kbytes input RAM buffer to aid in the smooth processing of data transfers. The maximum current requirement is 90 mA at 120 VAC, indicating its energy efficiency.
With part numbers 776569-01 through 776569-06, the GPIB-SCSI-A offers a range of options to suit different needs and configurations, highlighting National Instruments’ commitment to providing versatile, high-quality solutions for data transfer and device control in technical and industrial environments.
