The National Instruments GPIB-ENET/100 Ethernet-to-GPIB controller and NI-488.2 take advantage of this network connectivity in instrument control applications.
Using the NI GPIB-ENET/100, networked computers can communicate with and control IEEE 488 devices from anywhere on an Ethernet-based TCP/IP network.You can use a GPIB-ENET/100 to share a single GPIB system among many networked users or to control several test systems from a single networked host computer.
The GPIB-ENET/100 uses TCP/IP protocols to convert a computer with an Ethernet port into a GPIB Talker, Listener, and Controller. The GPIB-ENET/100 implements the full range of GPIB controller functions.
