Product Details:

NI GPIB-USB-HS is a high-speed USB to GPIB controller designed for automated measurement and instrument testing, and this gpib usb controller converts USB signals into standard IEEE 488.2 bus signals so ordinary laptops or desktop computers can directly manage GPIB instruments. It supports HS488 high-speed transmission protocol and can control up to 14 programmable GPIB devices on a single bus, which greatly simplifies the setup of portable test benches and laboratory calibration systems. It is widely used for bench instrument control, production line calibration, electronic component verification, EMC testing, metrology lab calibration, aerospace component validation and remote data collection. Users can develop test sequences and run instrument communication with LabVIEW, NI TestStand and NI-488.2 driver, and existing GPIB test programs can run normally without heavy modification, which makes this usb ieee488 interface adapter very friendly for upgrading old test stations.

Key specifications and parameters: It is a USB bus-powered device with no external power supply required, typical current consumption 140 mA and maximum 500 mA. The maximum HS488 transfer rate reaches 7230 kB/s, and the 3-wire handshake mode runs up to 1830 kB/s. It fully complies with IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 standards, supporting talker, listener and system controller functions. It carries a built-in 2-meter USB cable, equipped with standard 24-pin GPIB connector. The operating temperature range is 0 ℃ to 55 ℃, storage temperature from -20 ℃ to 70 ℃, 10% to 90% non-condensing humidity. Status LED indicators display USB connection status and GPIB bus activity for fast fault diagnosis. It supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS operating systems, offering flexible compatibility for different test environments. Compact lightweight form factor is easy to carry for field calibration and mobile instrument testing tasks.

This portable gpib instrument control adapter is an end-of-life legacy NI hardware. We supply fully inspected and tested refurbished units for replacement and maintenance of existing automated test systems. It works seamlessly with common GPIB instruments such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, programmable power supplies and spectrum analyzers. It is widely adopted in electronic manufacturing, university measurement labs, semiconductor testing, military product inspection and quality verification workshops. As a classic high-speed GPIB interface, it provides stable and reliable HS488 communication for long-term measurement projects.
