● Provides over 2000 V isolation between instruments and bus controller. Eliminates ground loops, noise and associated data errors. ● Allows more than 14 devices on the GPIB bus. Overcomes the bus drive limitation. ● Extends the bus length an additional 20 meters. Overcomes the bus length limitation. ● No false responses to the FindLstn Protocol. Supports all IEEE 488.2 protocols. ● Invisible to the IEEE 488 Bus controller. Needs no bus address or special programming. ● Fast handshake rate. Doesn't slow your system. ● Front panel indicators show controller and talker locations. Visual operating status. ● Small metal case provides EMI/RFI protection. Proven EMI/RFI Compliance.
ICS's 4860A GPIB<->GPIB Isolated Bus Expander solves four of the most common problems encountered in GPIB systems - device loading, signal noise, ground loops and cable distance. The new ICS GPIB Bus Expander/Isolator 4860A complies with the IEEE-488.2 Standard and is the only Bus Expander that does not give false responses to the FindListener protocol. The ICS 4862A is a lower cost Bus Expander for applications that do not require electrical isolation.
