these days, ethernet and USB are becoming more popular. My own
preference is Ethernet and I long for the day when I can ditch the last
GPIB cable (and the stacking connectors where you always seem to need
the one on the bottom of the stack) Yes, GPIB provides some clever
triggering across the interface, useful for things like sweepers and
vector voltmeters, but I suspect that it's not much used these days..
rather you wind up sending binary or ascii strings across the interface.
