HI, I looked around for USB/GPIB and Ethernet/GPIB solutions able to be used with Ubuntu (or, any modern LInux, but I use Ubuntu) OS - on a "ham-friendly" budget. I think the ProLogix Ethernet/GPIB module is about what I can afford, are there others?
I see on this forum others have used Prologix, not sure if they all went ethernet or just USB. For those of you that did go Prologix Ethernet/GPIB, does ProLogix provide good programming tutorials/guides for writing test applications? Did you find any gotchas that you wish you had known? I'm ok with hard programming, and soft programming (scripting) with Python. I can also do C++ or C, etc. I will be using this to probe a future FPGA based RFSoC board and need to run automated tests.?
I looked for tutorials on YouTube, but didn't find any if at all... Perhaps I don't know where to look for TCP/IP connected GPIB programming on ProLogix?
Lastly, the ProLogix website shows a high price, but it's vendors/distributors show low price, and many similar prices are shown on eBay with Chinese suppliers. Which supplier has tech support that can be recommended? Compared to ProLogix, is there a another commercial product that meets ethernet/GPIB ??
