Me either! The question seems to be does the Agilent software do a secret handshake with the 82357b or would it be as transparent under Linux as the Prologix unit? It may be a non-starter - has anyone tried one on Linux just to see if the USB part is recognized as a COM port (such as /dev/ttyUSB0)? > > > > > >> ________________________________ >> From: Volker Esper <[email protected]> >> To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement >> <[email protected]> >> Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 12:28 PM >> Subject: Re: [time-nuts] 82357B GPIB USB from China >> >> >> I bought one about a year ago but couldn't get it running under Win XP. >> There were a dozen well-meant advices on the forums that told me to read >> the firmware and flash the beast with a "better" one.
