HP-IB Need a kick in the right direction

[Garth Wilson]

71B is outstanding for this, although the HP-IL controllers will need the HP82169A HPIL-to-HPIB interface converter. I originally got my 41cx for controlling such lab equipment, using the '169 with the HP-IL module and Extended I/O module (combined in my case, so together they only take one port). Later I got the 71. The whole set today would get pretty expensive, although maybe still a fraction of the cost of all the lab equipment you'll control with it.
