Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?


 

Hello,

Just got hold of an old HP436A power meter and would like to do some automated measurements. Controlling the instrument is simple using the 82357B USB-GPIB module (I can set range etc), but reading data? As a first step I'd like to test using Agilent Interactive IO from Connection Expert. If that works, I'm fairly sure I can get it working in a program also.?
The 436 is set to NORMAL, i.e., not TALK ONLY. It does have the HP-IB option 022 installed. My guess is that I need to address the instrument to Talk in some other way than the "Read Response" used in Interactive IO.

Anyone with experience of this?

Regards,
? Staffan
