The
Fastest and Easiest Connection
Gain the ultimate speed and efficiency by connecting your PC or laptop to
your test and measurement instruments. The Keysight 82357B USB/GPIB interface
provides instant connections, enabling a direct connection from the USB port
on your PC to GPIB instruments.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is built into most of today’s desktop and laptop
computers, offering fast and easy plug-and-play connection and auto configuration.
Furthermore, the 82357B USB/GPIB interface makes connectivity simpler as there
are no switches to set, and no PC cards to install.
Getting connected has never been easier with the 82357B USB/GPIB interface,
its thanks to automatic configuration and use of industry standards. Your applications
will be up and running in an instant.
Totally Transparent, Fully Compatible
The USB/GPIB Interface software allows transparent communication between a
PC and one or more GPIB instruments. The included VISA (Virtual Instrument
Software Architecture) software provides GPIB emulation so that your existing
GPIB programs work immediately, without modification. You also do not need
to learn a new programming paradigm.
USB support is standard in Windows 2000/XP. These operating systems support
the automatic plug-and-play configurations, thus it is easy to install, configure,
and use the USB devices. Standard plug-and-play devices, like the 82357B will
be automatically detected as soon as they are connected to the computer’s USB
port. With the 82357B USB/GPIB interface and its convenient plug-and-play feature,
you just plug and go. It is also hot pluggable, making it easy to connect and
disconnect without having to shut down the computer. No external power supplies
are necessary.
The 82357B USB/GPIB interface uses a thin, flexible, high quality USB cable
that is USB 1.1 and 2.0 compliant. This cable is shielded and specified to
1,500 insertions, ensuring a durable connection and reliable data transfer.
The 82357B is capable of transfer rates over 1.15 MB/s with large block transfers.
The performance is better than typical GPIB cards for block sizes over 32KB.
Small block transfers are limited by the USB implementation and the overhead
associated with setting up the transfer. However, since instrument setup time
can dominate the overall test time, this impact may be minimal. If small block
transfer performance is critical, then you may consider the Keysight
82350B PCI GPIB interface.
Make the Connection
You may connect directly to one instrument with no additional GPIB cables
required with the 82357B USB/GPIB interface. For multiple instruments connection,
use a daisy chain or star configuration with your GPIB instruments using standard
GPIB cables. Once the instruments are connected, connect the USB/GPIB interface
as the last connection on one of the instruments. One 82357B USB/GPIB interface
supports up to 14 GPIB instruments. Multiple 82357B USB/GPIB interfaces can
be connected to improve system performance. Another additional significant
feature is the parallel polling capability of the 82357B USB/GPIB interface.
This allows you to easily check up to eight individual devices at once, corresponding
to the number of data lines on the GPIB.
Software Included
The VISA standard is a system level industry standard supported by a multi-vendor
foundation for instrument software. It offers an easy-to-use set of IO control
functions and provides a migration path to new standards such as IVI (Interchangeable
Virtual Instruments). IVI is a new driver standard developed by instrument
and software vendors to define software standards for instrument interchangeability.
This new standard is layered on Keysight VISA and offers interchangeability
and high performance. The VISA Assistant software is also included and it provides
communication and diagnostic tools to help troubleshoot your applications.
EDU36311A Triple Output Bench Power Supply
Key features
Power Your Next Insight
For more than 50 years, Keysight DC power supplies are changing how engineers prove their design, ensure product quality. The EDU36311A triple-output bench power supply is ready for your next design. With accurate voltage / current measurement and device protection layers —you can test with confidence —and power your next insight.
Get more for less
The Keysight EDU36311A triple-output DC bench power supply comes with a robust design and usability at an affordable price. Its 90 W, electrically isolated channels supply clean and reliable power. The signature 7-inch wide video graphics array (WVGA) gives you clear view, from instrument set up to the output status. You can easily control the EDU36311A triple output DC bench power supply remotely via USB or LAN. This solution includes Keysight’s PathWave BenchVue power supply software for the PC.
Supply your DUT with clean, reliable power
Accurate voltage / current programming and readback capability provide excellent control of the power supply and power measurement. The low, typical mode noise specifications ensure quality power for precision circuitry applications, enabling you to power your design with confidence. Besides the 0.01% load and line regulation, the EDU36311A triple output DC bench power supply also maintains a steady output when power line and load changes occur, giving you more measurement confidence.
The EDU36311A triple output DC bench power supply includes over-voltage protection (OVP), over-current protection (OCP), and over-temperature protection (OTP) to prevent damage in an education teaching lab environment where many students have access.
Compact design
You can independently turn on / off the outputs on the DU36311A triple output DC power supply to give you three power supplies in one instrument. This feature saves bench space and maintenance cost because you can power up multiple analog / digital circuitries or devices with a single instrument.
For even more voltage or current, connect Channel 2 and Channel 3 in a series or parallel mode to double the output voltage up to 60 V or current up to 2 A, respectively.
