I received the Prologix GPIB-USB controller today as well as my HP 5335A. I
haven't unpacked the counter yet but I'll try out the Prologix tomorrow at
work with the 5335A we have there. Any suggestions on getting it to control
it as well as simply log output? Honestly, I haven't installed any of the
software yet so I don't know what I'm in getting myself into. I've tried
searching the archives but haven't had any luck. Does anyone have a 5335A
and the Prologix interface that can give me a head start?
Here's the links I have:
KE5FX -- http://www.thegleam.com/ke5fx/ (Thanks John!)
EZGPIB -- http://ulrich-bangert.de/html/downloads.html
Is there anything else I need?

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.

Hi
I think I'd haunt the e-place for a much cheaper alternative.
