I need a data sheet and a certificate of Volatility for GPIB-ENET, Ethernet IEEE 488 Controller (776933-21)

I need to find the data sheet for 776933-21 GPIB-ENET Ethernet IEEE 488 Controller.  I realize this is a end of life product but hoping one can be dug up somewhere.

 

Thank you

It looks like this product has become obsolete, and I am therefore having trouble finding any documentation that we have archived. I will continue to ask around in order to see if we can get our hands on it.

Hi Rick_Boeing,

 

Unfortunately, after thoroughly searching through our internal databases, I have been unable to find a Letter of Volatility for this product, and there is no evidence that one ever existed. Was there any reason in particular why you were looking for one?

Our customer the US Navy is asking us to update all documentation concerning all electrical components currently in use on the program.  The GPIB-ENET was one of them.  I am thinking that this item most likely does not contain any memory, just a WAG, but I would have to disassemble one, not an option, to find out for sure.  So that is why I was asking in this forum.

Hi Rick_Boeing,

 

We are doing what we can on our end to get you this information. I will say that we may be able to get you this information faster if you do not need the official Letter of Volatility and can work with a quick confirmation of the presence and size of memory onboard the device.

 

In any case, this process will take some time because this product was EOL'd roughly fifteen years ago.
