You should be aware that this GPIB-to-serial converter requires that you build your own serial cable to connect the converter to your computer. A standard straight-through or null-modem serial cable will not work correctly. There are serial cable wiring diagrams in the documentation for the IC026A. Several of our customers have reported problems (read that as frustration) getting this GPIB-to-serial converter to work with their logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, or oscilloscope. And, of course, we are the first place they turn to for help. Here is how one of our customers configured his Blackbox IC026A to work with his HP8568B.
