Tom,
Couple of options for you:
1) HTML file (missing some graphics) that lists the
available commands for 8753C, D, and similar boxes.
Doesn't tell you how to use them. It's a small file,
123kb. I'll email after this email in case you're
needing something fast.
2) I have a .pdf of the programming guide for the D
model of the instrument. In addition to the
comprehensive description of all commands, it's got
lots of programming examples. Because it's 1.2Meg, I
don't want to send unless you tell me to.
3) I have the original "programming notes" for the
8753A/B in printed form. Would take some time but I
could copy and send to you. This might be the closest
thing to an 8753C manual I can get. Not sure why the
"c" doesn't seem to have docs.
AND, in case you are running up against "The Common
8753A/B/C Programming Problem": In theory, the HPIB
commands can be terminated either by an assertion of
the EOI line (a hardware wire in the HPIB interface),
or by the correct "last" data character. CR or LF, I
think are acceptable. Due to an indsiscovered
omission in the 8753A/B/C, you MUST exert EOI for the
box to accept a command. Isn't supposed to be that
way. If you're using an HP-buit HP-IB card with any
of HP's software, or if you are using an HP BASIC
controller, the default setup is to establish EOI.
However, this is not the default with the National
Instruments cards and drivers, so you have to manually
change that configuration if you're using non-HP cards
or drivers.
Will send the html file under separate cover.
73,
Dave W8NF
