What is the difference between IEEE-488 and GPIB?
IEEE 488, also known as HP-IB (Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus) and generically as GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus), is a short-range digital communications 8-bit parallel multi-master interface bus specification developed by Hewlett-Packard. It subsequently became the subject of several standards.
What is a GPIB cable?
GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) was developed as an interface between computers and measuring instruments. It is mainly used to connect PCs and measuring instruments.
What is IEEE-488 GPIB interface?
The IEEE-488 standard, also known as GPIB, is a bus interface that connects instruments in a computer to an ATE system. ADLINK GPIB interface cards in PCI, PCIe, and USB interfaces are delivered with complete software support, including a driver API that is fully binary compatible with NI-488.2* driver software.
Why is GPIB so expensive?
The big cost is probably the software drivers, which includes LIFECYCLE SUPPORT through all the revisions that the OS people (MS, Apple, et.al.) throw at you. At least that is my perception of the issue. You can get a used HP GPIB PCI card (82350) for around US$50.
