Ethernet Gateway
-
ICS's Model 9065 Ethernet Gateway is an Ethernet to GPIB Controller that connects easily to your computer's Ethernet port, company network or to the Internet to control GPIB instruments. The Model 9065 is VXI-11 compliant, does not require special drivers and is compatible with the following systems: LINUX, UNIX, SunOS, MAC OS X, HP-UX, IBM-AIX and Windows 2K or later Windows systems. ICS's 9065 uses VXI-11 RPC calls for secure communication with virtually any computer. Eliminates the need for special drivers. Easily programmed on a PC by making VISA calls or on a MAC/UNIX/LINUX computer with RPC calls. See our extensive Application Notes or download our VXI-11 Tutorial and the VXI-11 Specification for more information about the VXI-11 Standard. ICS Electronics is the premier VXI-11 device supplier with 100% VXI-11 compliance in every product.
