GPIB

During the 1960s, long before USB, USB2, and now USB type-C dominated the bus systems on most platforms and appeared as the built-in standard on all desktop computers and laptops, a digital communication standard, originally developed by HP, was registered as an IEEE 488.x standard. This standard, also called General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB), is still widely used and well in existence (many were sold several years back) in the test and development industry and many university labs.

We will also use an NI GPIB-USB-HS, a GPIB to USB converter to connect a Tektronix TDS 2022 to the PC running LabVIEW. Don't forget that this particular converter, or similar products manufactured by other vendors, also needs special drivers. NI provides proprietary drivers for GPIB-USB-HS (found on http://www.ni.com/). A GPIB to UB converter is also available from HP (Agilent) that may be used directly in LabVIEW:
