Hardware can be inexpensive. An Australian firm called Softmark sells an USB to GPIB interface on ebay for about $35 or so. I have one, and it works. Software is another problem entirely. If you do not have the source code for the Hp program, you will need the manual for the 3048 with all the needed info. I've found the GPIB to be difficult sometimes. The Softmark comes with a dll that can be used with Visual Basic; I'd advise VB6. Good luck. Don
