Hi,
I have a need for a GBIP adapter that I can use with Linux.
It shouldn't be too expensive, but I rather spend a few bucks
more for ease of use. Where "ease of use" means I don't have
problems with weird drivers on Linux (Windows doesn't matter at all).
I do not mind writing my own read-out software (that's quickly and
easily done). What would people here recommend?

Someone has been selling one of these at a reasonably low price on ebay but I don't know anyone who has used it.

I have bought a Prologix GPIB/USB controller. There is a LAN version also.
The German distributor is stantronic.de.
You can get mine for a limited time to see if it fits. I was able to solve
my own problem via LAN w/o adapter.

As mentioned by others the Prologix works fine in e.g. Timelab but is not
supported by NI VISA code or things like the linux-gpib code.

I use the Prologix GPIB to Ethernet converters.
Makes it "platform independent" since it's just an IP socket to the
outside world
Hi
Given all the nonsense with USB drivers / “fake" serial chips / OS restrictions ….
The ethernet solution makes a lot of sense.

All GPIB to Ethernet adapters are not created equal.
The NI GPIB-E is no longer supported for example, only the 100 & 1000.
Which is very annoying to those that have one.

Beware-
Many GPIB-to-Ethernet adapters are also very prolific RFI generators-
learned the hard way at Arecibo.

That is a good suggestion, Dana. My Prologix GPIB-to-Ethernet adapter is
made in a plastic case, so it certainly could radiate if it chose to do so.
I'll have to sniff around sometime while it's operating.

Hello,
I am doing another fun project. It is data logger at this time. The
"heart" is MV89A OCXO and the "brain" is STM32.
"The box" has 1PPS input to control DAC which will control OCXO. BTW,
this M89A is pretty hot to touch. My other OCXO's not that much warmed.
Is it normal for this Morion model ?
I woul ask an advise regarding following issue. I have signal generator
which produce the square wave. The freq. is 192Hz.
http://www.patoka.org/OCXO/LOGGER/IMG_20171119_104659813.jpg
However, the logger measure it TWICE ! I think its because of that
signal form. Here is the output (in microseconds):
http://www.patoka.org/OCXO/LOGGER/IMG_20171119_104838190.jpg
In average delta is .0026041 s, which is almost equal to 384 Hz (192x2)
For the input I am using the schema similar as HP was using in one of
their counters:
http://www.patoka.org/OCXO/LOGGER/IMG_20171110_123201987.jpg
I tried another source (DDS sine generator, referenced from GPSDO) and
that beast produce exact number of events:
26.5404621
26.5473008
26.5525067
26.5577297
26.5629260
26.5681280
26.5733305
26.5785262
26.5837255
26.23559295
26.5941842
26.5993546
26.6045699
26.6097716
26.6149911
26.6202076
26.6254149
26.6306244
26.6358103
26.6410386
26.6462491
However, it is some "spikes" in the data flow (see above the number
"26.23559295", which suppose to be something as "26.58..."). I can't
understand the reason for that.
The "delta" is .0052 s, which is almost equal to 192 Hz. But data flow
is not that "smooth" though.
In square wave mode, "school grade" Wavetek generator produced exact 192
events with no issues. (Except its output frequency is not that stable)
21.0578286
21.0630547
21.0682807
21.0735070
21.0787330
21.0839591
21.0891852
21.0944112
21.0996372
21.1048632
21.1100892
However, if I switch Wavetek to sine, my logger detected twice number of
event (384)
97.0185559
97.0214570
97.0237852
97.0266822
97.0290048
97.0319054
97.0342336
97.0371408
97.0394552
97.0423578
97.0446802
97.0475836
97.0499131
97.0527969
97.0551313
97.0580259
97.0603560
97.0632648
97.0655869
I would assume, some improvement needs to be done for the data logger
input. I am using 2N5485 and 74AC04 elements there. Any advises will be
appreciated ! Thanks !
