– Key Features
• Shielded cable construction minimizes electromagnetic interference in instrument control systems
• Type X13 designation ensures compatibility with Micro GPIB connectors
• Micro D25 termination supports compact controller designs
• Standard Champ Ribbon 24 connector interfaces with traditional GPIB instrument arrays
– Typical Applications
• Instrument control and measurement device communication
• PXI controller-to-instrument interfacing
• Automated test equipment (ATE) system integration
• Data acquisition and command routing in modular chassis architectures
– Compatibility & Integration
The NI 183285-02 integrates with:
• PCI-GPIB/LP interfaces
• PMC-GPIB controllers
• VXI embedded controllers (select models)
• PXI embedded controllers (select models)
This cable bridges Micro GPIB ports on embedded controllers to standard ribbon-based GPIB instrument panels, eliminating the need for intermediate adapters in mixed-architecture test systems.
