Connect GPIB instruments
quickly and easily to your
computer’s USB port
The Keysight 82357B USB/GPIB interface
provides a direct connection from the
USB port on your desktop and laptop
computers to GPIB instruments. Once
the software is loaded, your computer
automatically detects the 82357B when
it is connected to the USB port of the
computer.
The 82357B is a plug-and-play device. It
is also hot-pluggable, making it easy to
connect and disconnect without having
to shut down the computer. No external
power supplies are necessary.
The 82357B USB/GPIB interface
implements USB 1.1 (12 Mbits/s) and is
compatible with USB 2.0. The 82357B
USB/GPIB interface uses a thin, flexible,
high-quality USB cable that is USB
2.0-compliant. The USB cable is shielded,
and the connector is specified to 1,500
insertions, ensuring a durable connection
and reliable data transfer.
