Agilent / HP / Keysight E2050B
E2050B LAN/GPIB Gateway
Description
The Agilent E2050B is a LAN/GPIB Gateway. It will provide low-cost access to GPIB instrumentation over an existing LAN. It will allow the use of SICL- or VISA-based applications designed for GPIB over the LAN without the need to modify the application beyond a simple address change.
The gateway is a combination of hardware and SICL/VISA software. It uses client/server technology to extend the standard SICL/VISA functions to control GPIB instrumentation located remotely on the LAN. This will give you the opportunity to put your controller at an alternative, more convenient, or safer location. This will allow you to go through the gateway instead of a GPIB interface card.
Key Points
Low-cost access to GPIB instrumentation via LAN
Allows longer distance between controller and instruments
Resource sharing - people and instruments
Leverage your existing network and systems
Distributed control of GPIB instruments
