About GPIB Switches

GPIB switches enable several GPIB controllers to share one or more GPIB devices, or they allow a single GPIB controller to operate multiple GPIB bus systems. Users of up to four computers can share a single GPIB device such as a printer or plotter. GPIB switches may also be used to select various peripherals independently. Using GPIB switches is a very cost-effective way for several users to maximize the potential of a GPIB peripheral device. GPIB switches may be used as bus switches, or as multiplexers. If used as a bus switch, the device allows a GPIB controller, connected to the common port, select and control devices attached to the other ports. If used as a multiplexer, device allows the bus controller connected to the general ports to share the common bus and any devices connected to it.

Products & Services Related to GPIB Switches

GPIB Controllers and GPIB Interface Boards

General-purpose interface bus (GPIB) controllers and GPIB interface boards are devices that enable communications between GPIB buses and GPIB networks.

GPIB Converters

A GPIB converter translates the data from one bus type to the GPIB bus and vice versa.

GPIB Expanders and GPIB Isolators

GPIB expanders allow the system to interface with more than the maximum number of devices specified in IEEE 488.1. GPIB isolators; are used to electrically isolate two GPIB networks.
