[Dsg-hallc_controls] NMR - PLC Interface

[Brian Eng]

Hi Mike,

The RTA adapter you linked is only for HID (mouse, keyboard, etc) or printers, basically ASCII devices.

I don't see how that would work with the PT2026 as we've only been able to get that to work via Metrolab's drivers or VISA.

If so, the Ethernet to ASCII adapter (also from RTA) Pablo already tried should have worked.


It wasn't clear to me from Steve's email if we should proceed with this task or not? I was originally just looking for the way to buy the SBCs and since they're relatively cheap I didn't see the downside even if we don't end up using them.
