Interesting, I will look into it as a way to get a starting point, atleast for initial tests and diadnostics ------------------------------- "If you dump the raw measurements, that's precisely what you get, and you will need to do all the processing, math and plotting yourself.: Well in the world of Linux/Python, processing, math and plotting, these are not really big difficulties Lester B Veenstra K1YCM MØYCM W8YCM 6Y6Y [email protected] 452 Stable Ln (HC84 RFD USPS Mail) Keyser WV 26726 GPS: 39.336826 N 78.982287 W (Google) GPS: 39.33682 N 78.9823741 W (GPSDO) Telephones: Home: +1-304-289-6057 US cell +1-304-790-9192 Jamaica cell: +1-876-456-8898 -----Original Message----- From: Poul-Henning Kamp [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2020 11:21 AM To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Cc: Lester Veenstra Subject: Re: [time-nuts] FW: HP-5732A operation with no CRT display. -------- Lester Veenstra via time-nuts writes: I assume you mean HP-5372A and not 5732A ? > I see good H and V sync inputs as well as the ZMod (Video data) into the > board, bur the drive for the two deflection coils is not what I would > expect. The 5372 uses a weird video-format, 19KHz horizontal and 60Hz vertical, but it might be possible to find a LCD panel which can do that. There are two bits of video, "half intensity" and "full intensity", so a color panel would be required. > However, it occurs to me; Does anyone have HPIB code that allows use of the > instrument without the GUI user interface? I've never quite gotten the hang of HPIB with the HP5372, the HPIB is very geared towards moving the raw binary data, and not very much towards "remote front-panel". You can get a bitmap of the screen using "INTERFACE;PSOURCE,DISPLAY;PRINT", but it is not particularly fast and comes with gratis PCL escapes, but it does work. If you dump the raw measurements, that's precisely what you get, and you will need to do all the processing, math and plotting yourself. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
