Features standard 24-pin GPIB connectors with twisted-pair shielded construction for noise immunity and signal integrity. Supports full IEEE-488.1 electrical specification and IEEE-488.2 command protocol with data transfer rates up to 1 Mbyte/second. Enables remote instrument control, data acquisition, and automated measurement sequences through GPIB bus architecture. Compatible with GPIB controller cards and USB-to-GPIB adapters for laboratory automation and data management applications. ## Function A 2-meter, shielded, multi-conductor cable assembly facilitating parallel digital communication based on the IEEE-488 standard. It provides a physical layer for transmitting 8-bit parallel data, control commands, and status signals between a GPIB controller and a compatible instrument. The interface enables remote instrument control, automated measurement sequences, and high-speed data acquisition. ## Platform The IEEE-488 GPIB cable is designed to connect a Cary Eclipse instrument, typically used in spectroscopy, to a computer or other device via the GPIB interface. It facilitates communication between the instrument and the controlling device, enabling data transfer and control commands. The connection is crucial for setting up, controlling, and acquiring data from the instrument, ensuring seamless integration within laboratory settings that require precise control and data management. ## Application Facilitates secure and low-latency IEEE-488 (GPIB) connectivity between spectroscopic instrumentation and data acquisition systems, supporting synchronous digital communication protocols for instrument control, data transfer, and automation within laboratory environments. Designed for integration with Cary Eclipse fluorescence spectrometers, enabling robust interfacing with external controllers, computers, and other GPIB-compatible devices over a 2-meter distance, thereby enhancing automated experimental workflows and data logging accuracy. ## Accessories Interface: IEEE-488 General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB). Connectors: Two stackable 24-pin male/female Centronics-style micro-ribbon connectors. Associated Equipment: Agilent/Varian Cary Eclipse Spectrophotometer and a GPIB controller or computer with a GPIB interface card. Purpose: Provides parallel communication for instrument control and data acquisition. Length: 2 meters. ## Interface Connector 1: IEEE-488 (GPIB) 24-pin male micro-ribbon. Connector 2: IEEE-488 (GPIB) 24-pin female micro-ribbon. Both connectors are stackable, allowing for daisy-chain configurations. This cable provides a parallel data interface between a GPIB-equipped instrument, such as a Cary Eclipse Spectrophotometer, and a computer with a GPIB controller card or a compatible instrument mainframe. ## Images - - - -
