Looking for HP-IL to RS-232 Converter Design Solution Message #1 Posted by Mike on 20 May 2006, 11:26 a.m.
Anyone know if there is a design available for conversion between HP-IL and RS-232? I know there exists the 82164A and that will do in a pinch but I'm looking for something a bit smaller. I guess I could take the time to design one but that would take quite a while.
I don't need to implement the entire HP-IL specification but the interface has to be complete enough to control a serial device. It will one way communications, from 71B to HP-IL device. The hp-il device will never have to be the HP-IL controller. That is, it will just respond to and receive HP-IL data, from a 71B. The HP-71B will never have to accept data from the device.
I can also use a 82166A, which might be a partial solution to my project but those are a little hard to find.
Anyone know of a simple solution to this, other than using the 82164A?
