NI GPIB-232CT-A

GPIB-to-RS232 Controller

  • 8 RS232 data transfer rates up to 38.4 kb/s
  • Hardware handshaking, and the XON/XOFF protocols prevent data loss
  • Cable lengths extend GPIB by 15.6 m (50 ft)
  • NAT4882 ASIC
  • 256 KB RAM buffer
  • 9-pin RS232 connector

The National Instruments GPIB-232CT-A can turn any computer or terminal with an RS232 port into a full-function IEEE 488.2 Controller. With the flip of a switch, the NI GPIB-232CT-A can make any RS232 device appear as a GPIB device. The small size of the GPIB-232CT-A makes it ideal for use with laptop computers or other computers that have no internal I/O slots available. The NAT4882 IEEE 488.2 ASIC implements the full range of GPIB controller functions, including those controller functions required and recommended by IEEE 488.2. All GPIB sequences and operations conform to IEEE 488.2. External DIP switches set the operating mode, the GPIB primary address, and serial port parameters.
