Using USB and LAN I/O Converters
应用文章
GPIB has been a primary instrument Input/Output interface for over 30 years due to its proven reliability. New standard computer bus systems, USB and Ethernet (LAN), are gradually being built into modern instruments and test systems. Instrument interconnects are typically GPIB, although, using USB/GPIB and LAN/ GPIB converters may be useful in updating your test systems and taking advantage of new bus features such as easy connections, remote instrument access, and higher speed data transfers. The following document compares the USB to GPIB converter (82357B), the Keysight Technologies, Inc. GPIB PC card (82350B), and the LAN to GPIB converter (E5810A) and will help determine which I/O interconnect is best for your application needs. You want the I/O product to integrate easily with your current test system or you may have the opportunity to build a new system taking advantage of a newer I/O interface. In either case, having details for these topics will be helpful in making the best I/O interconnect decision for your application needs.
