Control Power supply via GPIB-RS232 converter

Hello,

 

I had a general question on connecting a power supply to my computer. The DC Power Supply I currently have (Agilent 6675A) has a GPIB port and my computer has a USB port. So, any GPIB to USB converter would do to connect, correct? Or is it necessary I get a GPIB to USB converter from National Instruments specifically to be able to control the supply through LABVIEW?

 

Thanks

In theory, any would work.  I will just say I have had the most success with the NI ones.
