The Model 8055 interface provides access to GPIB instruments from any computer with a NIC interface or a TCP/IP network connection. Typical applications include adapting GPIB instruments to LXI or Ethernet test systems or sharing GPIB instruments over a network. A VXI-11.3 compliant server, users may combine the 8055 with an IEEE-488.2 GPIB instrument, thereby converting the GPIB instrument into a VXI-11.3 compatible unit, controllable via programs running in both Windows and UNIX/LINUX type operating systems. Windows users can write test programs that make VISA calls. Price for the Model 8055 is $550 each. ICS ELECTRONICS, Pleasanton, CA. (925) 416-1000.
