Review on Prologix USB To Gpib Controller by James Cash

Requires installation of drivers not included with device. On my MS Windows machine, the drivers were found on the web and downloaded and then installed automatically, but it took quite a long time. After installing the driver, the device turns your GPIB device into a serial port - COM4 on my computer. You can then send SCPI commands to the device and get responses to queries or query commands. Works great for plain ASCII text strings. But I couldn't do that when reading a byte array with read_raw() - the response aborts prematurely. So when you want to read waveform data from an oscilloscope/VNA/spec analyzer etc. it can be frustrating. We recommend using the NI GPIB-USB-HS or Agilent 82357B GPIB-USB GPIB-USB adapters.
