GPIB to LAN Instrument Interface

ICS's GPIB to LAN Instrument Interface is a new type of interface that enables you to add a Ethernet based instrument to your GPIB test system. Several manufacturers are now introducing new instruments without GPIB interfaces believing that new test systems will only be built as Ethernet systems and discontinuing their older GPIB instruments. This leaves the engineer who has to expand or maintain GPIB Test Systems with less instruments to choose from when it is time to replace an older instrument or to expand the test station's capabilities.

ICS's 4865 GPIB to LAN Instrument Interface solves this problem by providing a transparent GPIB to LAN Instrument Interface that converts a LAN Instrument into a GPIB Instrument. Existing GPIB programs can run without change if the LAN instrument responds to the same commands.

4865
 
8065 The Model 4865 is an GPIB to LAN Instrument Interface that allows any VXI-11.3 compatible, LAN Instrument to be controlled from the GPIB Bus. The 4865 acts as a standard GPIB device and a VXI-11 client, transparently converting GPIB commands and device messages into VXI-11 RPC calls. Instrument responses are output on the GPIB bus when the 4865 is addressed to talk. Download the 4865 data sheet as a PDF file. Rack Mounting Kits data sheet
