This lightweight adapter is the easiest way to control your GPIB devices through an available USB port.
GPIB has been around since the 1960s, but more recent developments have made many GPIB products more affordable, and most importantly, very efficient for increasing your control over multiple instruments. This handy GPIB-USB adapter is a great example - the price is unparalleled for such a powerful converter.
Works with standard GPIB applications
This controller is specifically useful on automatic manufacturing and other business-related equipment that gets its commands from a main computer.
If you are frequently changing back and forth between computers or other USB devices such as a printer, this controller lets you easily control its commands from your host computer; this controller also offers several other useful features:
- It include drivers for both PC and Mac applications: Windows 98/ME/2000 and Mac OS-8/9/X respectively, as well as Linux.
- Supports multiple devices.
- You don't also have to purchase a power supply because the USB takes care of it; also, you don't need an additional GPIB cable because this controller plugs directly into your equipment.
- Controller is both USB 1.1 and 2.0 compatible, and comes with the standard USB (B) and IEEE-488 (male) connectors.
Benefits
Increased efficiency without multiple computers with separately connected peripherals, and easy installation which basically includes downloading the drivers into a directory, then installing the interface and pointing to the directory where you want installation (once the installation window appears).
This GPIB USB Controller costs a fraction of most GPIB USB controllers available, but don't let that fool you - this is a powerful converter full of features. A deal at less than $150 (with free shipping)!
