Agilent E5810B LAN/GPIB/USB Gateway
Make LAN to GPIB, USB and RS-232
connections with greater ease
One-box connectivity solution for easy GPIB, USB
and RS-232 instrument control via standard LAN
The E5810B allows users to control various instrument interfaces
remotely over wired or wireless LAN (with a wireless router). Now with
USB capability, the E5810B connects up to 14 GPIB instruments, four
USB instruments via a self-powered hub and an RS-232 instrument,
giving test engineers a fast and efficient one-box solution. The E5810B
is ideal for system integrators, automated testing and other applications
requiring unlimited connection range and simultaneous connectivity to
multiple instruments. It can be used during design verification, where
the gateway makes it easy for engineers to share a rack of test equip-
ment. For manufacturing, users can easily connect several test systems
via a local LAN and control them with a single, centrally located PC;
these systems can be accessed remotely for troubleshooting and debug.
Greater ease of use
The E5810B comes with an improved GPIB transfer rate of 1.2 MB/s
and 1000BASE-T (1 Gigabit) LAN/Ethernet compatibility in addition to
existing 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T supportability.
With the built-in LCD display, users can quickly retrieve the IP address
of the gateway and other system messages without needing to install
additional software.
The E5810B also comes with LED indicators on the front panel display,
allowing users to determine connection statuses of the gateway box at
a glance.
