This request is for info to assist in the above. I'm not after
general "how-to" stuff, rather I'd like to get some clues from someone
who has "been there".
I have a HP34970A on loan, c/w all manuals. Normally I'm quite
capable of writing Basic code for RS232 comms for pretty much
anything, but this one has me stumped. I've read the user manual for
far too long - all aussie support have gone for the weekend :-(
All the commands to the instrument seem to be accepted OK, but all
attempts to actually receive any data from it are met with a "hang" on
the input statement. DOS platform, QBasic and/or QB4.5 in use ('cos
VB-DOS and serial comms don't get along).
Anyone been there? All help appreciated.
Peter
