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.
