Connecting remote USB, GPIB or
RS-232 instruments or devices via
a standard LAN
The Agilent E5813A networked 5-port USB
hub uses LAN technology to overcome the
5-meter distance limitation for USB cabling,
so you can place USB devices anywhere on
a LAN. With access to remote devices, you
can collect data, perform measurements,
or monitor the progress of your tests.
Using the bundled IO Libraries Suite, you
can connect an Agilent 82357B USB/GPIB
interface to one of the USB ports for access
to GPIB devices. You can additionally
connect an E5805A USB/4-port RS-232
interface for access to RS-232 devices (see
fi gure on page 9).
To prevent access confl icts, only one
computer at a time can access the E5813A.
The included software lets you lock the
E5813A to your computer. Once you unlock
the connection, another user can then
connect from a different computer.
To choose between a E5810A or a E5813A
for your applications, please refer to page 9.
