Can I listen to external GPIB traffic when I connected to the GPIB bus and other devices are communicating with each other?

[Soumya2005]

Internally, I am aware that if the GPIB port is GPIB+ card then the card supports sniffer application (like NI spy) which are provided by default with the card.

I want to sniff the GPIB traffic between externally connected devices . Is it possible to capture and forward the GPIB traffic on the GPIB bus.?

Please also, let me know if it is possible to capture and forward the traffic while being a Listener?

Hi Soumya2005,

National Instruments doesn’t sell any devices that would support the functionality you want.  As you pointed out, we have a sniffer application for GPIB+ cards (GPIB Analyzer), but that’s the extent of our sniffer software for GPIB.
