Product details
Description
The Prologix USB to GPIB Controller is an essential hardware tool designed to bridge the communication gap between legacy laboratory test instruments and modern computers. Featuring a standard IEEE 488 male connector on one end and a standard USB port on the other, this compact device translates USB commands into GPIB protocol signals smoothly.
It is ideal for engineers, researchers, and technicians working with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and digital multimeters. Operating through a virtual serial port interface, it eliminates the need for proprietary low-level drivers or external power supplies, drawing power directly from the USB connection.
With a durable metal enclosure built to reduce electromagnetic interference, this controller simplifies automated testing setups using standard software applications and terminal emulators.
How to use
Plug the controller directly onto the instrument's IEEE 488 port, connect it to your computer using a standard USB cable, and configure the virtual COM port to send text-based command strings via your preferred software.
Ingredients
Durable metal enclosure, Standard IEEE 488 male connector, Standard USB type B connector, Integrated microcontroller for protocol translation
