Prologix GPIB Adapter

The Prologix GPIB-ETHERNET adapter is a GPIB -> ethernet adapter that is supported by EPICS asyn via the prologixGPIBConfigure command and is used by some of our Aeroflex and PS300 series devices.

The device support DHCP but it may not work across a network gateway, so when testing best be on the same network as the adapter. The MAC address is written on the adapter.

See <Experiment Controls share>\prologix_gpib for a manual and also the netfinder and prologix configurator programs if you need them. You can run netfinder on the same network as the adapter to find its IP address and/or change it to DHCP. The prologix configurator program lets you change other settings on the device, but is generally not needed by us as the main ones are set by asyn when it connects. See the adapter FAQs for more details.
