<vipqualitypost> I think I saw someonw who made a USB-TMC open hardware thing for GPIB, I'll need to dig up a link. I have the Agilent adapter, it works well, can at least recommend it for functionality.

<dingwat> @vipqualitypost nice, thanks. Is your Agilent adapter (I assume 82357B) a real one or a clone?
<gurki>
if in doubt get the ni gpib
<gurki>
the keysight one requires a firmware on every powercycle which does not play nice if you intend to pass it to a vm
<dingwat>
oh dear, ok that's good to know
<miek>
it's not that big a deal in my experience, you just need to pass both the configured & unconfigured vid/pid pairs through to the vm
<dingwat>
i imagine I will primarily be using whatever adapter with NI-VISA on Windows, but having the option for other OS/VMs would be good. I'm trying to use visa-rs in Rust to do some simple automation.. we'll see how far I get
