GPIB to USB Adapter
TEK-USB-488

Tektronix Instrument GPIB Adapter

Characteristics

System Requirements
Compatible with Tektronix instruments providing
USBTMC-USB488 compliant USB ports supporting
the protocol and USB extensions required for setting
the adapter’s GPIB primary address.For USBTMC-
USB488 instruments not supporting these USB
extensions and protocol,the GPIB address defaults
to address “1”and cannot be changed. Each
adapter controls one instrument and does not
support use of USB hubs.
