With Arduinos going for well under $10 You could afford to place one Aruino INSIDE your test instrument. Those old instruments usually have some air space inside and a power supply suitable for an Arduino. Now you have added a USB port to some 1980's vintage test gear. If the Arduino is inside you may not even need the GPIB connector. You could do this to many older instruments then use USB to a USB hub, then to a computer. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ 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.
