Hi Jim, We recommend starting with the procedure described in the FAQ to verify connectivity: http://prologix.biz/gpib-ethernet-1.2-faq.html

I would get timeouts and error messages back from the devices. Turns out that I had one bad cable and one with a little piece of paper that had gotten into the connector when mating it. So.... is there some sort of systematic test scheme using the Prologix that can be used to check out a setup? Or using John Miles's Prologix Configurator to exercise it. _______________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________ 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.
