Question : Can I use a GPIB interface card from Keithley or Capital Equipment Corporation in the Linux operating system?

Answer: Although Keithley does not provide a Linux driver for these GPIB interface cards, several are available on the Internet at large.

These GPIB interface cards from Keithley/CEC make use of the industry standard NEC 7210 controller for IEEE-488. Any required register level information is contained in the documentation of this controller chip.

Below are some links that may contain a suitable driver for GPIB interfaces in Linux:
