Hello,
Many thanks. Notice that I replied to your direct mail. I don't think the problem lies in the 436, but rather in how the USB dongle 82357 performs communication. Don't know if the GPIB standard was updated - 488.2 seems to be from 1992, whereas the instrument predates 1980. It would be great to have a configuration within VISA to support different standards for different instruments - or is this perhaps not needed? Sounds strange that there shouldn't be sufficient backwards compatibility for a data bus!
Regards,
? Staffan
