The biggest favor you can do for yourself is to learn C. That gives you access to wonderful professional-level development tools and a large example code base for GPIB programming (mine as well as others).
Beyond that, doing things like ADEV graphs is just a matter of plugging in the formulas from various app notes and/or translating legacy HP-BASIC programs. -- john, KE5FX > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Mike Feher > Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 12:24 PM > To: 'Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement' > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Prologix GPIB-USB Controller > firmwareupdate-version4.60 > > > Can someone suggest a book or some means by which I can learn > this language, > and, use it with a PC.
