Derek, I beg to differ. The User's Manual that I have, chapter 8 Remote Control, states: "The command set is normally not necessary but is, however, available upon request for special applications". http://www.schaffner.uk.com/support/technotes/tn-006.htm This page has drivers available for the internal power meter and signal generator. Obviously, Schaffner felt there was a need to control the device externally. Why would anyone want to bypass the internal firmware?? We have a lot of EMC equipment with internal firmware that can run a test, like EFT and surge generators, but we still use software to control the device since it gives us better control and documentation.

There is no published documentation for use of this port. It's considered proprietary. As the US cal lab for this item, I have access to some, but not all of the commands of the interface, but, I've signed a document saying I won't release them. As you stated, the NSG 2070 is a stand alone piece of equipment with all control software ( firmware) built in. I'm curious why you would want to change that? I hope this helps you, Sincerely, Derek Walton L F Research - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
