- Converts RS232C or USB interface to IEEE488.2 GPIB
- Easily connected with no driver required
- Communication conditions can be changed in custom mode
Overview
Simple conversion from RS232C/USB to GPIB
The PIA5100 is an interface converter that allows for instruments without a GPIB interface to be easily controlled through RS232C or USB*. This converter allows for communication with IEEE488.2 compatible measuring instruments and power supplies while removing the need for difficult configuration. Instruments not compatible with IEEE488.2 are also supported through communication programming in custom mode.
*Limited to equipment based on USB-TMC

Power Supply Methods
DC 5V is required for PIA5100 operations. Please prepare one of the following power sources (power supply methods).
Power supply from the instrument / power supply
If the measuring instrument/power supply has a DC OUT 5V connector, you can use the supplied input power cord to supply power from the instrument/power supply.*Currently, the product with DC 5 V supply function is the PLZ-5W, PLZ-5WH.
Power supply from the USB port
You can use the power cord set provided to supply power from an AC-USB adapter or a PC USB port.
Power supply from the AC adapter
The AC adapter can be used to supply power
Functional Limitations
The following GPIB-specific functions are not available by default (factory default).
- Serial polling, parallel polling
- Remote local control
- Device clear
However, for serial polling and remote local control, equivalent functions can be used through similar commands.

Operation Manuals
Applications / firmware
firmware update
You can update the firmware of the PIA5100 by downloading the latest version of the firmware from the Downloads page of our website. To update the firmware, use the dedicated application Kikusui DFU GUI.
Changing communication conditions (custom mode)
The dedicated application ‘GPIB-CONVCustom Config’ can be used to change the communication conditions of the PIA5100. This is used when connecting to an instrument/power supply that does not comply with IEEE 488.2 or when communication is not possible under the default (factory default) communication conditions.
