Remote GPIB control of instruments

When conducting fiber optical experiments, it is often necessary to adjust the settings of a large number of distinct instruments. Doing so by hand is tedious and error-prone, so automating the tasks is helpful. How can we communicate with devices that are potentially decades old and still utilize them?

My friend, you don't know how this video turned out to be useful for me!

I'd be very interested to hear what project you are doing and how this tutorial helped you out :-)

Very interesting and useful. I have the same GPIB USB adapter and wanted to have it control some lab gear. Thanks TA!

You're welcome!
