The Keysight 82357B is an adapter that creates a GPIB Interface from one of your unused VNA USB ports.
The 82357B can be used to connect a GPIB device using the VNA USB for any VNA application. In addition, the 82357B can be used to connect a power meter for a source power calibration.
When the 82357B is connected to the VNA USB, the following dialog box appears:
Normally, you do NOT need to edit these settings. The 82357B USB/GPIB Interface is configured automatically as the next unused VISA interface. This is usually GPIB2 unless you have already configured it for another purpose.
If the VISA Interface Name appears as GPIB0 or GPIB1, these Interfaces must be returned to their default settings for the 82357B to work properly with the VNA. See Configure for VISA / SICL to learn how.
The following diagram illustrates how to connect GPIB test equipment using the USB/GPIB Interface.
Plug the USB/GPIB Interface into any unused VNA USB port.
The driver installation and connection is performed automatically.
The Frequency Converter Application will automatically find and communicate with test equipment that is connected to the USB/GPIB Interface.
Source power calibration: Select GPIB at the Power Meter Settings dialog and specify the GPIB address of the power meter.
To control other devices through your own program using the 82357B , you must include the new GPIB Interface number when addressing the devices.
