This is a DiscontinuedProject. It has been finished and is in a stable state now. Currently, no effort is made for further work here.

Description

I have some measurement instruments that include a GPIB interface for data transfer and remote control. As I want to work with them from multiple computers, including a laptop, I am building a USB interface that can, at a very basic level, exchange data with the GPIB devices.

YA-B05 has been assigned to this project.

Images

Some images freshly captured, showing the questionable quality of my ARB... The images look somewhat garbled until viewed in full size - however, the resolution and final image size can be configured when converting from HPGL to PNG.
