These files worked on my 8566B (serial # 2332A) with the exception of the
waterfall display. It comes back with an error message:
"INVALID STORE DEST: W_LOOP? SRQ 140". W_LOOP seems to be defined in the code
but I do not have experience of HPIB/GPIB programming to debug. Any helpful suggestions
gratefully received!
Brian,
Thank you for creating and uploading the Windows *.bat files so people can download these DLPs from their PC's.
The error you are getting seems to indicate that the W_LOOP variable was NOT defined when the DLP is executed.
The SRQ 140 error indicates that W_LOOP is undefined (as a recognizable command/variable).
I assume you tried downloading the DLP again to ensure that it wasn't just a one of.
Since the W_LOOP variable definition is the very first line in the
water_8566B_8568B.bat's outputting to the GPIB, I'm wondering if somehow it is/was NOT getting successfully sent.
I would try adding a new line before the
"VARDEF W_LOOP,0;" line, something like "VARDEF W_TEMP,0;".? Since that new line would now be the first line sent, I would hope that the W_LOOP definition line would be now seen.
This is just a guess about the first line being lost/garbled.? Let me know what you see.? You can send a private e-mail to me if you want.
