GPIB Terminal Emulator Question
in [Design]
|
From: Jim Flanagan on 8 Aug 2010 21:15 Does anyone know of any software that would allow a PC with an Agilent or Nat Inst GPIB card to function as a GPIB Terminal Emulator? This would be analogous to using say, Hyperterminal with an RS232 port. I have a piece of HP equipment that I want to communicate with using a simple terminal. Hopefully, this makes sense. I could write something, but I'm looking for instant gratification.... thanks Jim

If you don't already have an Agilent or NI card that you're using, you may want to look at the GPIB-USB dongle from Prologix. I have the older version 3 card and used it successfully to automate some test sequences a few years back. Worked great, no surprises. It uses an FTDI USB interface chip and Hyperterminal or other terminal emulator can be used to send the GPIB commands. http://www.prologix.biz/index.php -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA

House-some-wheather..*every* GPIB piece of equipment has its own set of codes to do particular things - which means at some point you must write code. |
