GPIB-based measurement applications are common in every field of multi-instrument environment. Also personal computers and workstations play a key role in measurement ability to create cost-effective instrument control solutions. For simple data acquisition systems which are automated by GPIB interface, standard GPIB controllers add a little burden to the budget for DAQ. In this paper, we provide software and hardware construction methods for cost-effective custom-made GPIB controller boards both for controllers and instruments. This way of tailored configuration to suit a particular application of GPIB-based instrument control solution pays dividends in cost and flexibility for data processing management.
