The Keysight Technologies, Inc. GPIB, USB and Instrument Control
Products
Keysight instrument control hardware family benefits
– Easy connection to GPIB, USB and RS-232 instruments — Keysight instrument control hardware offer
simple “plug-and-go” set up and configuration.
– Use PC-standard interfaces — Connect via your computer PCI/PCIe® slot or use the built-in USB or LAN
ports on your PC to connect to your instruments.
– Choice of interfaces (GPIB, RS-232, USB, LAN, PCI, PCIe® — Keysight of fers you a selection of products
to meet your I/O needs. We work where you do!
– Use industry-standard I/O libraries — The included industry-standard VISA I/O libraries make it easy for
you to use your existing software programs and let you mix and match test instruments and software
from different vendors in a single system.
Easily mix instruments from different vendors
Keysight IO Libraries Suite eliminates the headaches associated with trying to combine hardware and
software from different vendors. The software is compatible with GPIB, USB, LAN and RS-232 test
instruments that adhere to the supported interface standards, no matter who makes them.
When you install the IO Libraries Suite, the software checks for the presence of other I/O sof tware on your
computer. If it finds another vendor’s VISA libraries (such as National Instruments), it automatically installs in
a side-by-side mode that allows you to use your existing I/O software and the Keysight software together in
multi-vendor systems without you being concerned with the behind-the-scenes details.
Works with millions of existing instruments from hundreds of vendors
Use the most trusted and reliable technology for your connections. The IO Libraries Suite ships with more
than 150 instruments from Keysight. It works with literally millions of existing instruments—helping you
minimize the number of software packages you need. You won’t have to switch between packages as you
use a mix of existing and new instruments in the future.
Work in the environment comfortable to you
In addition, the IO Libraries are compatible with a variety of application development environments and
programming APIs including Keysight or NI VISA, VISA COM, SICL, and Keysight 488 (compatible with
NI-488.2), giving you even more flexibility to choose the software and hardware from any vendor to get your
job done.

Keysight 82350C High Performance PCI-GPIB Interface Card
The 82350C PCI-GPIB interface card converts any PCI bus computer into an
instrumentation control and data acquisition system. It comes with direct PCI computer
connection, and transaction overhead is minimized for the best overall operating
performance.
The 82350C interface card is fully compatible with IEEE-488 control and communication
standard, de-couples GPIB transfers from PCI bus transfers. Buf fering provides I/O and
system performance that is superior to direct memory access (DMA). The hardware
is software configurable and compatible with the plug-and-play standard for easy
installation. The GPIB interface card offers high flexibility to plug into standard or low
profile PC with a bracket change.
Features
– PCI IEEE-488 interface for PCs
– Transfer rates up to 900 KB/s
– Dual processor support on the
latest Windows operating system
Recommended use
– Maximum GPIB throughput for all
configurations
– Standard and low-profile brackets
allow flexible connection
