Hi, 
I'm using an ATE in which i'm controlling many measurement devices thorough GPIB interface only.  
One of the instrument - Voltech- PM300 Power Analyzer gone bad and i have a standby Power Analyzer. 
Unfortunately the standby instrument doesn't have the GPIB interface but it consists of RS232 interface. 
If i use RS232 to GPIB convertor, does this solve my problem? Any settings need to be done in program?  
How i can assign the GPIB Device No? does this reflect in MAX? 
I never used this RS232-GPIB Convertor, but i want to make sure everything is fine before buying. 
please advice. 
thanks.
