Re: [time-nuts] Software for Tektronix FCA3100 Counter -- AKA Pendulum CNT91
I have the Fluke PM6681: it has no talk-only function on the GPIB port. If the CNT81 has the same software then TimeLab can't get data from the CNT81/PM6681. Anyway I can write a logging software (for free, of course) to grab data so that you can post-process it with whatever you want (I use matlab). The problem will be the GPIB interface: I use the Agilent 82357B/E5810A and Tektronix AD007 so my software requires IOAgilent suite or TekVISA or I can send source files in C to compile in your system.

Hi Stan Unfortunately I can't answer your question, I'm having trouble enough with my own:-), but I have got a copy of 0v979 so will forward that direct in case you want to try it.

Tektronix, and no doubt Pendulum too, also offers a 30 day evaluation copy and I have already downloaded that and will be trying it shortly, but even if it turns out to be the all time best thing since sliced bread I'd still be extremely reluctant to even consider paying the price they're asking for a full copy. regards Nigel GM8PZR ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

Earlier this year I got a very good deal on an as new Tektronix FCA3100 Timer/Counter/Analyzer, which turned out to be a rebadged Pendulum CNT91.
