Description
The National Instruments GPIB-SCSI-A GPIB SCSI Controller is engineered to manage a sophisticated setup, capable of controlling up to 14 GPIB instruments and 7 SCSI devices. With a range of part numbers including 776569-01 through 776569-06, this versatile device offers two modes of control: SCSI(S) and GPIB(G), catering to different integration needs within a system.
The device’s asynchronous data transfer characteristics and the ability to function as a talker, listener, or controller as per IEEE-488.2 standards, make it a powerful addition to any setup requiring robust communication capabilities. Additionally, the SCSI interface addressing is software selectable, providing flexibility for various configurations.
Its maximum transfer rates are impressive, reaching 1.0 Mbytes/s for SCSI/GPIB read operations into buffer memory, and up to 800 kbytes/s for SCSI reads and GPIB reads from buffer memory. Even without buffering, the device can handle 600 kbytes/s for SCSI reads/GPIB writes. This performance is supported by a broad range of input voltage options from 120 to 240 VAC, and the device includes an input RAM buffer of 256 kbytes, with a maximum current requirement of 90 mA at 120 VAC.
