BONN Amplifier Automation Integration via GPIBWhen an amplifier shall be connected to the PC via GPIB, usually a GPIB-USB-Adapter likeNational Instruments' NI GPIB-USB-HS or Agilent's 82357A or 82357B will be used.

Please note: we cannot support the installation of your GPIB adapter.Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation.

Here we are assuming that the GPIB adapter is already up and running.
