Introduction
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 E5810B LAN/GPIB/USB Gateway
One-box connectivity solution for easy GPIB, USB and RS-232
instrument control via standard LAN
The E5810B allows users to control various instrument interfaces remotely over wired
or wireless LAN (with a wireless router). Now with USB capability, the E5810B connects
up to 14 GPIB instruments, four USB instruments via a self-powered hub and an RS-232
instrument, giving test engineers a fast and efficient one-box solution. The E5810B is
ideal for system integrators, automated testing and other applications requiring unlimited
connection range and simultaneous connectivity to multiple instruments. It can be used
during design verification, where the gateway makes it easy for engineers to share a rack
of test equipment. For manufacturing, users can easily connect several test systems via
a local LAN and control them with a single, centrally located PC; these systems can be
accessed remotely for troubleshooting and debug.
Greater ease of use
The E5810B comes with an improved GPIB transfer rate of 1.2 MB/s and 1000BASE-T
(1 Gigabit) LAN/Ethernet compatibility in addition to existing 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T
supportability.
With the built-in LCD display, users can quickly retrieve the IP address of the gateway and
other system messages without needing to install additional software.
The E5810B also comes with LED indicators on the front panel display, allowing users to
determine connection statuses of the gateway box at a glance.
