I want to control a scientific instrument with an Arduino through GPIB. I have a USB-GPIB adapter, so I would want to do it through the USB. There are tutorials on the Internet on how to connect Arduino to a GPIB instrument through pins, but I did not fid any explanation of how to do it though USB. Is there a software package I can use?

    an arduino can interface to something simple like a USB keyboard or mouse ... it may have problems with interfacing GPIB through the USB ... you would be better off using something like a Raspberry Pi ... it uses Linux as an operating system ... it has the necessary hardware to make use of the USB-GPIB adapter .... the necessary software may also be available .... google linux gpib instrument to see if there is any scientific software that you could use Commented Nov 20, 2019 at 5:55
  • Is there a reason, why you want to use the USB-GPIB adapter? When there are tutorials on how to directly interface GPIB, why do you want to involve the USB interface? USB is a rather complex interface and the possible capabilities of Arduinos (depending on which version you use) regarding USB are limited. Commented Nov 20, 2019 at 8:30
