National Instruments 778032-01 GPIB Instrument Control Device 

The part number 778032-01 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the PCI-GPIB Instrument Control Device. This control device can achieve GPIB data transfer rates of up to 1,577 kbytes/s using the standard 3-wire mode. To increase its performance performance, this device supports the HS488 mode, which allows data transfer rates up to 8,182 kbytes/s. With multiple data transfer modes and speeds the 778032-01 device is perfect for controlling multiple modules all at once at high speed without causing communication and data transfer errors at high speeds.

The 778032-01 is designed to operate efficiently within the power constraints of a standard PCI slot. This module under nominal conditions consumes 170 mA at 3.3 V, with a maximum power draw of 575 mA. This device is compact, measuring 10.67 cm x 11.99 cm (4.2 in. x 4.7 in.), making it easy to install in standard PCI slots. It features a GPIB IEEE 488 24-pin connector, making it compatible with a wide range of GPIB cables and instruments. The card is a universal PCI device, compatible with both 3.3 Volts and 5 Volts PCI slots, making it a flexible choice for when using it in different computer systems.

The device can withstand various environmental conditions and can operate within an ambient temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius and can be stored at temperatures between -20 degrees Celsius and 70 degrees Celsius. The card is designed to handle operating relative humidity levels from 10 % to 90 %, noncondensing, and storage humidity levels from 5 % to 95 %, noncondensing. 

The 778032-01 meets international standards for safety and environmental testing, including IEC 60068-2-1 and IEC 60068-2-2 for temperature testing, and IEC 60068-2-56 for humidity testing. These standards allow this control device to safely operate in harsh industrial settings. The module however does not feature an IP protection rating and hence must be protected from dust and moisture to avoid affecting the internal circuitry and performance of the module.
