Depends on what he wants to do. If he wants to write his own apps for the counter (or use mine) the Prologix controller will work fine. You talk to it with generic COM port code rather than a proprietary API.
If he wants to run existing commercial software like Labview he is likely better off buying a used National Instruments adapter on eBay, though. It will not necessarily be any cheaper than a new Prologix adapter... probably close to the same price in fact, unless he makes the mistake of buying an ancient ISA-bus or RS-232 adapter. -- john, KE5FX > -----Original Message----- > From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com]on > Behalf Of Bob Camp > Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 5:36 PM > To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] HP 5335A and HP-IB (GP-IB) > > > Hi > > I think I'd haunt the e-place for a much cheaper alternative. > > Bob > > > On Aug 1, 2010, at 8:18 PM, Heathkid wrote: > > > I just purchased a HP 5335A and would like to know the group's > opinion on the following: > > http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=549 > > > > 73 Brice KA8MAV > > > > _______________________________________________ > > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > > To unsubscribe, go to > https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > > and follow the instructions there. > > > > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
