TCP/IP)
GPIB
RS-232
160
Allows you to develop an application that will run locally on your
unit within Windows.
Best approach when speed is your top priority (no physical
connection that slows down the process).
Supported by most development software.
Lower cost.
Allows the sharing of network resources.
Allows you to develop computer-based applications to directly
communicate with your unit.
The optional USB/GPIB adapter must be connected to the unit.
The unit can be used as a device in a GPIB chain (it meets the
IEEE 488.2 standard).
A single GPIB address allows you to control up to 100 logical
optical instruments.
Most commonly used interface to simultaneously control many
instruments.
Null-modem cable or USB to RS-232 adapter required to
establish connection between the computer and your unit
For increased speed and performance, run the application
locally on your unit through ActiveX instead of using RS-232.
