[volt-nuts] HP3458A cal ram data dumper program
John Miles has included my HP-3458A cal ram data dumper program in the latest release of his excellent GPIB Toolkit package. You can download it from the KE5FX web site. The released version produces the formatted listing of the various cal RAM values in its output (it is the same version of the data dumper that I put up on tinyupload.com). ___ volt-nuts mailing list -- volt-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
Re: [volt-nuts] HP3458A CAL ram data dumper program
Hi Mark, I had success using your HP3458.exe on my HP3458A! I just backed up my CAL data a few minutes ago. I have been interested in doing a backup for several years but kept putting off buying the GPIB to USB adapter. I have been using a NI GPIB-ENET/100 for some years now and so your program was a way for me to backup CAL ram at no cost. The only preparatory steps I needed was to test my GPIB connectivity with NI Measurement Automation Explorer's Communicate with Instrument function. Then I Reset the 34358A and set END to Always. I had NI's I/O Trace on the whole time just to keep track of everything. I think the NI 488 software is a free download. Thanks for all the work you did!

Re: [volt-nuts] HP3458A CAL ram data dumper program
Hi Mark, Is it possible the program could create a .bin or .hex file that could be used to burn a backup NVRAM on an external programmer? I would love to have a copy if possible. While I don't yet have a 3458A, it is on my wish list awaiting the necessary funds to build up and for that once in a while good deal.
