GPIB-USB-HS with USB-ETHERNET adapter

[Alexander_NI]

Hello,

I have a GPIB-USB-HS Controller and I am trying to hook it with a USB-ETHERNET adapter so I can control it from distance. Have anyone did this before? I am wondering if this will work or not. Thanks in advance.

if you put a pc inbetween them it could work

Albert,

I will try if that will work, but do you have any other suggestion for using the GPIB-USB-HS throught the ethernet? i need to control the device that I am using the controler with remotly.

Thanks,

Alex

If your instrument only has a GPIB interface, then https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/model/gpib-enet-1000.html

Thanks for the suggestion but that would be so expensive since we already have the GPIB-USB-HS Controller, do you think that there is any other way arround it ?

Thanks,

Alex

Do you have the Ethernet-USB and cannot connect?

I do have GPIB-USB-HS controller also I have an male USB-ethernet adapter. I guess in this case i should buy a USB extention via ethernet which is mainly two consists of two parts; the first is female USB- ethernet, and the second is ethernet-male USB and just see if this would work.

There are probably several companies out there that make USB extenders.

Black Box is one of them. http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/USB-1-1-and-2-0-CAT5-Extender-2-Port/IC282A
