I ordered a Prologix GPIB-USB controller and it has arrived. I got it
up and going so fast, and I am very pleased to have a working solution
for capturing data. I have tried several cheap adapters and they have
not worked.
In my case I needed a controller to record time interval data from my
HP5370B. Many of us also use HP53131A and they have a easy serial port
to configure. I also plan to use the Prologix adapter on my HP3456A and
HPP3457A multimeters.
You basically plug the controller into a PC and let WIndows XP install
its USB drivers for the device. Then you install the FTDI drivers that
you have to download. Then I used John Miles "Prologix.exe" program
with the default configuration and I could see data coming in the
terminal window. Stop the program and bring up Hyperterminal and start
recording data.
