James,
The TCL scripting language has good support for GPIB. It is pretty easy to
write a script in TCL that reads the 5328A once every so often and writes
the result to a text file. The text file can then be read by Excel for
further processing.

Subject: [hp_agilent_equipment] Need logging help with hp 5328a
Hello all,
I have a 5328A counter with the HP-1B option 011 digital I/O init
installed.
I wish to record the frequency output of a oscillator over a long
period of time (several hours to several days) and I need some way to
interface the output from the counter to a PC, and some way to copy
the input to the pc to an excel spreadsheet for data logging, etc.
BTW, I am NOT an engineer, just a ham radio operator trying to get a
stable ransmitter on the air.
Hny Ideas, suggestions would be a great help.
Thanks,
James Hickox, AA5AO
