That is a good suggestion, Dana. My Prologix GPIB-to-Ethernet adapter is made in a plastic case, so it certainly could radiate if it chose to do so. I'll have to sniff around sometime while it's operating. Jeremy On Sat, Nov 18, 2017 at 5:27 PM, Dana Whitlow wrote: >

All GPIB to Ethernet adapters are not created equal. The NI GPIB-E is no longer supported for example, only the 100 & 1000. Which is very annoying to those that have one. Bob > On Nov 18, 2017, at 17:45, Bob kb8tq wrote: > > Hi > > Given all the nonsense with USB

Hi Given all the nonsense with USB drivers / “fake" serial chips / OS restrictions …. The ethernet solution makes a lot of sense. Bob > On Nov 18, 2017, at 4:45 PM, jimlux wrote: > > On 11/18/17 11:04 AM, Attila Kinali wrote: >> Hi, >> I have a need for a GBIP adapter

The Galvant adapter appears to use a very similar protocol to the Prologix, but I'm unsure if it's exactly compatible. There have been large numbers of HP adapters on ebay - they're generally thought to be clones of varying quality. http://www.galvant.ca/#!/store

I have bought a Prologix GPIB/USB controller. There is a LAN version also. The German distributor is stantronic.de. You can get mine for a limited time to see if it fits. I was able to solve my own problem via LAN w/o adapter. regards, Gerhard Am 18.11.2017 um 20:04 schrieb Attila Kinali:
