– Compatibility & Integration
The Option 6005 is designed exclusively for the Fireberd 6000 series communication analyzer. It integrates directly into the Fireberd 6000 mainframe and operates alongside other interface modules to provide comprehensive network analysis capabilities. The card functions as a full IEEE-488 bus participant, enabling bidirectional communication with external controllers and test systems that support IEEE-488.2 protocol.
