Hi,
Did you mean HP as in high power or Hewlet Packert? Search the www for "high
power supply gpib" and you'll find http://www.kepcopower.com/bophi.htm .
Temperature control often use serial interfaces, but
http://www.testequity.net/products/1104 has GPIB as option. (Search for
"temperature control chamber gpib".)
Regards,
Wiebe.
