Title: New Agilent 82357b 's on EBAY for $99.00
Post by: daveyk on May 25, 2017, 01:03:01 am
USB to GPIB. I have a real one but I want a backup plus I would want one on my other bench. Has anyone bought one of these and do they really work identically to the Agilent? They look like a Chinese copy but show "Agilent" on them.

I'm not going to build one from an arduino. I have zero experience with them and not the time.

So you're telling those 22357b for $99 on eBay don't work? It's not a waist if they work as the real thing is $700/$800.

Thank you. I can never find anything searching with this iPhone app. Nothing came up.

I never used word work.

I don't consider plugging a few wires into Arduino a build.

I paid $50 for mine which is already way too much for a clone.

Agree, but does it work and how do you tell they're clone without having one in your hands?

I suspect the only way to be sure is to buy direct from Keysight or their authorised dealers?

If keysight still sell them,  i dont think so,   that's why they arent cheap ... not even sure that the seller are sure they are legit ones ??

There are very good fakes, they have learn to better imitate the plastic casing logos

This one seem's very promising
