Yes. The Prologix GPIB-USB devices use an FTDI device driver that creates a virtual COM port on your PC. And the virtual COM port can be used by PrintCapture. Be sure you printout the online manual to help you configure these devices. The Prologix GPIB-USB interface was developed by one of our customers and it works well with PrintCapture. You can find out more about this interface at Prologix. Nice little product that works well and is a very good alternative to the pricey National Instruments product lines. Please see these links for other GPIB interface manufacturer information: National Instruments, Agilent, Capital Equipment Corp., ICS Electronics, Keithley Instruments, Measurement Computing.
