GPIB-to-Serial Cards

4804B    
GPIB to serial RS-232 RS-485 Card Model 4804B GPIB to Serial Interface Board provides transparent bi-directional GPIB to Serial data conversion for devices needing GPIB to RS-232, GPIB to RS-422 or GPIB to RS-485 signals. In S-Mode, the 4804B can control a single GPIB device from a serial source. Headers connect to ICS's GPIB Connector/Address Switch Assemblies and to GPIB Flat Ribbon Cables. An on-card regulator accepts 5-15 VDC power. Download the 4804B Data Sheet as a PDF file. See also:

4806    
GPIB to RS-232 Card Model 4806 Smart GPIB to Serial Interface Board provides both a GPIB-to-RS-232 interface for an RS-232 serial device and a RS-232 connector for transparent communication with the serial device. Smart firmware provides IEEE-488.2 responses which converts the serial device to an IEEE-488.2 compatible, GPIB device. Async, Standard and Smart modes for working with any serial device. An on-card regulator handles 5-15 VDC power. Download the 4806 Data Sheet as a PDF file.  
     
4808    
GPIB to RS-232 Card Model 4808 Smart GPIB to Serial Interface Board provides both a GPIB-to-RS-422 or GPIB to RS-485 signal path to serial device that uses differential signals. Includes an RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 converter for a transparent signal path to the serial device. Smart firmware provides IEEE-488.2 responses which converts the serial device to an IEEE-488.2 compatible, GPIB device. On-card regulator for 5-15 VDC power. Download the 4808 Data Sheet as a PDF file. NEW!
4816    
4804B 4816 Smart GPIB to Serial Interface Board provides GPIB-to-RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial conversion. 4806 style firmware provides IEEE-488.2 command responses which converts the serial device to an IEEE-488.2 compatible device. Async, Standard and Smart modes to work with any serial device. Headers connect to ICS's GPIB Connector/Address Switch Assemblies and to GPIB Flat Ribbon Cables. An on-card regulator accepts 5-15 VDC power. Download the 4816 Data Sheet as a PDF file. See also:
