The RIGOL USB-GPIB Converter is a USB-to-GPIB interface adapter that enables GPIB control of RIGOL instruments equipped with a USB Host port. By connecting directly to a GPIB controller via the instrument’s USB Host interface, this adapter expands GPIB connectivity for RIGOL instruments that lack native GPIB support. The converter draws power directly from the USB Host port, eliminating external power requirements, and features an LED indicator for power status monitoring.

– Compatibility & Integration
The USB-GPIB Converter is designed exclusively for RIGOL instruments with USB Host interfaces. The USB-GPIB-L variant is specified for DL3000, DG800, and DG900 series instruments. This adapter connects only between an instrument’s USB Host port and an external GPIB controller—it does not function as a PC-to-GPIB converter, cannot operate in reverse configuration, and of compatibility with your specific instrument model before deployment.
