I am in process of purchasing HP8370. My intent was to use it along with TIMELAB via GPIB.
Oddly enough, TIMELAB documentation mentions "National Instruments NI488.2 compatible GPIB adapters", Prologix GPIB-USB and Prologix GPIB-Ethernet, but NOT Agilent/HP/82357B. First, I thought GPIB was a standard protocol. I do not understand why it has to be a couple of specific brand. Has anyone tried this combination? (TIMELAB & Agilent GPIB) My "Agilent" 82357B from eBay is apparently a clone. According to folks in business, most of 82357B is a clone. Secondly, since Prologix GPIB-USB is $149 straight from http://www.prologix.biz, (is this a right source?) I don't mind buying it. But am I going to run into similar issues with other software/hardware? I am entirely new to GPIB. I can use some guidance, please. --------------------------------------- (Mr.) Taka Kamiya KB4EMF / ex JF2DKG _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
