The National Instruments GPIB-ENET/100 Ethernet-to-GPIB controller and NI-488.2 take advantage of network connectivity in instrument control applications. Using the NI GPIB-ENET/100, networked computers can communicate with and control IEEE 488 devices from anywhere on an Ethernet-based TCP/IP network. You can use the GPIB-ENET/100 to share a single GPIB system among many networked users or to control several test systems from a single networked host computer. NI-488.2 driver software must be purchased separately from the GPIB-ENET/100 hardware. Versions are available for Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/9x, Mac OS X, Solaris, HP-UX, and Digital UNIX.
