TAMS L488 LAN GPIB Adapter
Instrument manufacturers are moving to LXI and using LAN for connectivity and control.  It is important to have a way of allowing existing GPIB instruments to be part of modern systems without losing performance. The TAMS L488 is a compact adapter that connects directly to a test instrument’s GPIB port and allows it to be controlled over LAN. A single Ethernet cable connects the instrument to the local area network and provides power to the adapter, eliminating the need for GPIB cables. This adapter allows users to extend the life of their existing instruments as they move to new connectivity models. The L488 is the easiest and least expensive way to share instruments in a LAN test environment.
