Description
“`
The National Instruments GPIB-SCSI-A GPIB SCSI Controller, identified by part numbers 776569-01 through 776569-06, falls under the category of GPIB devices. This model is designed to control up to 14 GPIB instruments and 7 SCSI devices, offering a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.
It supports SCSI(S) and GPIB(G) control modes, providing flexibility in how devices are managed and controlled. The data transfer is asynchronous, with the device capable of performing as a Talker, Listener, and Controller as per the IEEE-488.2 functions.
The SCSI addresses are software selectable, making the device adaptable to various configurations. The maximum transfer rate of the GPIB-SCSI-A is impressive, with 1.0 Mbytes/s for buffer memory, 800 kbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB read from buffer, and 600 kbytes/s for straight-through transfers.
This controller is designed to work with input voltage options of 120-240 VAC, and it includes a 256 kbytes input RAM buffer, ensuring efficient and reliable performance. The inclusion of a metal enclosure not only provides durability but also enhances the device’s resistance to electromagnetic interference, thereby ensuring consistent performance in diverse environments.
