thanks for the offer, Geo
We've already found a new Prologix unit at much less than retail.  I'm not
familiar with the NI units, and have seen postings that they are
tempermental with some instruments.  I know the Prologix units work with the
friend's equipment; that's why we specifically went shopping for a Prologix.

I have a real NI GPIB-USB-HS if he'd be interested in that. Prolly
cheaper than a new Prologix.

Does anyone happen to have a Prologix USB-GPIB Controller available
for sale?  One of my friends needs one for his bench.  He is retired
and on a limited budget, and would like to find one cheaper than
MSRP from Prologix.

I've mentioned before that NI adapters are the least temperamental of all of them.

Hi

That’s been my experience as well over the last few decades, based on using a variety
of adapters.
