The USB-3488A enables simple control thousands of stand-alone GPIB instruments for a wide variety of measurement applications. The USB-3488A is also fully compatible with NI-488.2 software and supports industry-standard VISA I/O libraries software so that existing GPIB applications can be used without modification. The USB-3488A was developed using ADLINK's intellectual property in FPGA development which incorporates the GPIB controller and provides reliable GPIB bus control capability while supporting a transfer rate of greater than 1.2 MB/s. The USB-3488A is fully IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 compatible and provides the benefits of 'plug-and-play' USB connection for simple direct connection of GPIB instruments to a laptop computer. July 7, 2009, San Jose, Calif - a global provider of PC-based test and measurement systems and modules, announced the release of the USB-3488A, a cost-effective IEEE-488 GPIB to USB interface controller. Unit comes with built-in 2 m USB cable.ĪDLINK Expands Its GPIB Family with New USB-GPIB Interface Product, the USB-3488A Compact and portable controller measures 3.2 x 2.4 x 1.1 in. It is fully compatible with NI-488.2 software and supports VISA I/O libraries software so that existing GPIB applications can be used without modification. Supporting transfer rate of greater than 1.2 MB/sec, IEEE-488.1 and 488.2 compatible USB-3488A enables direct connection of GPIB instruments to laptop computer.
