I'm not near my > lab now, or else I'd be more specific. Ah... the CNT-90 has GPIB and USB but no serial port. Maybe if I hook up the USB port then. I don't recall a talk only mode thought. However, the Tboltmon does have GPIB address fields. I have NI VISA for a NI PCMCIA GPIB board, but that does not seem to make it happy. I could borrow a 53132A for test. If worse comes to worse I simply have to log the CNT-90 separately, but it would be neat to run it as a combined application. Eventually I would need a different application anyway.

I am sure we will. :D Cheers, Magnus _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
