The Keysight N2757A GPIB Interface Module adds IEEE-488 connectivity to Agilent 54620/40-series oscilloscopes, enabling remote instrument control and data acquisition over USB. This compact, bus-powered module supports plug-and-play installation with automatic driver configuration, eliminating manual setup delays. The N2757A delivers GPIB data transfer rates up to 1.15 MB/s and allows daisy-chain connection of up to 14 instruments on a single GPIB network. Hot-swappable USB connectivity lets you connect and disconnect without powering down the host PC.
