Control any GPIB Instrument over Ethernet

The GPIB-LAN controller from Audon Electronics converts any computer with a Ethernet port into a GPIB Controller or Device. In Controller mode, the GPIB-LAN controller can remotely control GPIB enabled instruments such as Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, and Spectrum Analyzers. In Device mode, the GPIB-LAN controller converts the computer into a GPIB peripheral for downloading data and screen plots from the instrument front panel. In both modes, the GPIB-LAN controller interprets high level commands received from the host computer and performs the appropriate low-level GPIB protocol handshaking.

No special drivers are required and a wide variety of host software may be used to communicate with the GPIB-LAN. The GPIB-LAN controller supports static IP address and dynamic (DHCP) IP address. The controller’s network parameters can be configured using the supplied NetFinder application

Available ex-stock from only £149.

Vortex Low Cost Wind Speed Sensor

The VORTEX anemometer available from Audon Electronics is a rugged rotating cup-style wind sensor which can handle speeds from 5 to over 125 mph. The Vortex anemometer has a reed switch based volt-free contact closure output, producing one pulse per rotation, with a scaling of 2.5mph per pulse per second. This simple interface allows for easy connection to PC based data acquisition systems and stand alone dataloggers.

It comes with 8m of exterior grade cable which can be easily extended and an aluminium mounting bracket. Available as sensor only or sensor plus battery powered LCD display which gives readings in both mph or km/h.

The VORTEX wind sensor is great for do-it-yourself projects, marine applications, home weather station and wind power turbine location analysis applications.

Price is only £39 ex VAT.
