The CONTEC GPIB-FL2-USB is a USB to GPIB (IEEE-488.2) interface converter that allows a PC’s USB port to communicate with instruments and equipment that use the IEEE-488 (GPIB) bus standard. It provides a simple way to add GPIB connectivity to computers that do not have a built-in GPIB port. The module is powered directly from the USB bus, so no external power supply is needed, and it comes with a 1.8 meter USB cable for easy connection.
This converter supports high-speed GPIB communication with transfer rates up to 1.5 Mbyte per second, and it can be configured to operate as either a GPIB controller (master) or a GPIB device (slave). Software support includes Windows and LabVIEW compatible drivers and utilities that help with communication setup and basic diagnostics.
