Actually, there is one other topic in this forum history that might help you: > [@Getting data from legacy test equipment with GPIB (IEEE488) comm port](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/getting-data-from-legacy-test-equipment-with-gpib-ieee488-comm-port/19060): > > I wonder if someone has experience or any idea on communicating Ignition with old test equipment using GPIB (IEEE488) communication protocol. I am trying to connect to an Agilent 4278A capacitance meter. I did some research and found that a GPIB-USB converter or PCI card for PC can be used, combined with driver software (provided by Keysight or National Instruments), but they support only windows technology programming languages (VB6, .NET, C, and so on). I am not sure if any available serial … --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/exploring-integration-of-ignition-with-gpib-ethernet-controller-for-power-suppliers-control/77888)._
