The Alciom Smart488 USB to GPIB/IEEE488 Interface is easy to use - it just plugs into your PC's USB port.

Features

  • Plug'n'play installation.
  • Transparent mode, for an immediate dialog with one GPIB equipment.
  • Addressed mode, for a dialog with a given equipment on a bus (up to 3 pieces of equipment).
  • GPIB controller, with listener and talker functions.
The Alciom smart488 acts as a GPIB controller with listener and talker functions and is seen as a virtual serial port from the host PC.

There is no need to scrap your existing test equipment with a GPIB / IEEE488 interface. You can now control these expensive items from your own desktop PC or Laptop by using the smart488 USB to GPIB converter.

Simple to Use

You just need to ensure that you configure your existing GPIB software to treat the smart488 as a virtual COM port and set the GPIB address to 1.

The smart488 is ideal for connecting to single instruments on the GPIB interface.
