NI GPIB-140A
Product Name
NI GPIB – 140A GPIB Interface Module
Product Description
The NI GPIB – 140A is a high – performance GPIB interface card produced by National Instruments (NI)1. It is primarily used to connect computers with various GPIB – compatible instruments, such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, and digital multimeters, enabling functions like data acquisition, control, and communication1. It extends the coverage of GPIB, compensating for signal attenuation and distortion over long cable lengths to ensure reliable communication between devices2. It also provides additional ports to connect more GPIB devices, effectively increasing the number of available connection points2. Moreover, it offers isolation between different segments of the GPIB network, protecting connected devices from electrical interference and potential damage caused by ground loops or power surges2.
