Ethernet ports are a standard feature of today's PCs. Most of these computers have operating systems with built-in TCP/IP network software capability. The National Instruments GPIB-ENET/100 Ethernet-to-GPIB controller and corresponding NI-488.2 take advantage of this 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 a 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.
