Hey Tony,
The 2465 is an analog scope, and the GPIB is only good for changing or
reading back the settings on the scope. The scope itself has no idea what's
displayed on the CRT, so you wouldn't be able to e.g. read back the
displayed waveform to a computer.
For that you'd need a digitizing scope of some description.

I have this option on my 2465 - 300 MHZ version and I purchased the cable.
I have plans to get it to work with a computer and I'm looking for someone
who has done this, so I don't need to reinvent something that is done
already! ha ha ha
Can someone point me to the resources I can use?
Is there some modern PC connection available?
Why would you like to remove it?
It isn't hurting anything and the power supply creates almost the same heat
as if you didn't have it, so you wouldn't save any $$, I think.
Thank you all!
Stay safe and have a great weekend!
Tony

My 2465BDM has a GPIB option. I'll never use it; all my other
instruments
either have no external connection to the world (my computer) or use
ethernet.
Relative to heat and energy consumption would it be advantageous to
remove
the card?
Thanks, larry
