  • Is GPIB or Ethernet Better for Instrument Automation?
    Automating traditional instruments is an important activity for many engineers as new products move from design through validation to production. The choices of instruments, instrument control buses, and software significantly impact test times -- from the benchtop through validation
  • The Future for New Bus Technologies in Instrument Control and Connectivity
    For more than 20 years, scientists and engineers have widely used the IEEE 488 GPIB for automating instrumentation systems. As popular computer technology enters the test and measurement arena and buses such as USB, Ethernet, and IEEE 1394 are considered for instrument connectivity, questions arise
  • LAN Extensions for Instrumentation (LXI) Overview
    , the application space that they serve. Applications may range from small systems to medium sized combinational systems to high-channel count, highly integrated implementations. The general purpose interface bus (GPIB) is an example of an instrumentation interface that has addressed small systems, and some
  • VXIbus Overview
    Prior to 1987 there existed only one major architecture standard for instruments...the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB). Although the GPIB was widely used, it did not address the need for portable test stations, nor for the market demand for faster, more cost-effective test solutions. In 1987

    pedestals, and softswitch interfaces for packetized voice. Test-equipment makers start to board PC buses After two decades of dominance, the venerable general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) is starting to show signs of losing ground to PC-based bus technologies that are inching their way
  • Serial Communication Overview
    Serial is a device communication protocol that is standard on almost every PC. Do not confuse it with universal serial bus (USB). Most computers include two EIA-232 based serial ports. Serial is also a common communication protocol for instrumentation in many devices, and numerous GPIB
  • Configuring Functional ATE Systems
    faulty product. The introduction of the general purpose instrumentation bus (GPIB) as an industry standard a few decades ago, allowed test designers to implement the automation of product verification, thus increasing confidence in test and also greatly improving product throughput.
  • Application: Modular Instrumentation - Reed Relay
    Modular instrumentation has been around for the past 30 years, but continues to grow in popularity. The systems have become more functional with the ability to carry out multiple tasks in parallel. There are many types of modular platforms: VXI, PXI, PACs, Labview, AXie, USB, GPIB, etc, etc. All
