I have successfully used an Agilent 82357B USB adapter - there are plenty on eBay from Chinese sellers... I got NI Visa to talk to Agilent, er, Keysight IO Libraries and access a 3456A attached to the 82357B. That's the simplified version... the 82357B was on a remote system over a WiFiI link

I have both a chinese clone 82357b and two NI GPIB-USB-HS. If you will write your own software for aging test-equipment, my experience is that a clean NI solution with GPIB-USB-HS and NI 488.2 is a *lot* less painful than trying to get Agilent GPIB to play nice with the NI software-stack. Speaking

I have one each of the HP and NI USB units, and have both sets of libs installed on the same machine. I seem to have no trouble using either. But the size of each company's download is absurd! So,ething like 800MB between them. > On Sep 11, 2015, at 5:08 PM, Tommy phone

Have never had a problem when using the 82357A/B with Agilent/Keysight IOLibs and VEE. Maybe that's a useful clue as I am definitely not a programmer. >From Tom Holmes, N8ZM > On Sep 11, 2015, at 2:34 PM, Hal Murray wrote: > > > opronnin...@gmail.com said: >> If you

Hi: Got one of the new in box NI GPIB-USB-HS (not GPIB-USB-HS+) units on eBay. More after it arrives from China. SparkFun is out of their Inventor's kit, I'll get it when back in stock. It includes their Arduino Uno clone (probably better than a real one for less money) and the LINX (not

Hi Jim: LabVIEW Home is the full development version that normally sells for thousands of $, but for a home user sells for $50. There's some watermark on the front panel, but otherwise is fully functional. I haven't got into the Arduino because I don't like C. LabVIEW is the highest level
