Hello,
Indeed a point. Not having a second 436 around, I will try this one and see
where it gets me for now, but if anyone would send me a 436 - I’d be happy
to test :-)

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
It’s not impossible that you have a stuck gate somewhere, and the operation you observe is not normal for the instrument. It’d be worth checking that against another 436A.
