● Remote control of GPIB instruments via the Internet or in-house network. Control GPIB and HP-IB Devices anywhere there is a network connection. ● Runs from any VXI-11 compliant VISA library. Use VEE, LabVIEW, C, and Visual Basic programs with VISA or SICL calls. ● Easily controlled by RPC calls over TCP/IP. Adds GPIB Controller capability to Unix, Linux, SunOS and similar operating systems. ● Does not require special drivers for each operating system. Eliminates driver problems. ● Includes ICS's VXI-11. Keyboard Controller program for interactive control of GPIB devices. Lets you control instruments without writing a program. ● Handles multiple clients. Shares equipment among multiple users. ● Internal WebServer with network setup pages. Change network settings with any web browser.
ICS LAN GPIB Controller 8065 controls the GPIB bus from your PC's Ethernet port, over the company network or over the Internet. VXI-11 GPIB Gateway for operation with Agilent's and National Instruments' VISA and LabVIEW. Uses RPC protocol for easy control from Linux/Unix/Sun OS and all Unix like systems that need a LAN GPIB Gateway Controller. SourceForge Java project demonstrates the ICS LAN GPIB Controller 8065's use on any Java capable operating system. Internal WebServer for easy network setup. Includes ICS's VXI-11 Keyboard Controller program.
The 8065 meets IEEE-STD-488.1 with the following capabilities:
AH1, SH1, C1, C2, C3, C4, and C9 E2 Drivers incorporate power up/down protection and drive 14 devices.
IEEE 488.2 Compatible
Runs all required 488.2 controller protocols and includes bus signal line monitoring.
488 Bus Performance
Long term GPIB transfer rates are limited by the LAN data transfer rate, the Client-computer performance and the GPIB device. Short term 8065 data rates are:
GPIB to 8065
> 125 kbytes/s
8065 to GPIB
> 180 kbytes/s
