For an upcoming (very time-nutty, and hopefully to be shared soon) project I need to finally do some frequency datalogging.
I've had a Stanford SR620 sitting around, and plugged it in to a handy GPIB adapter (*not* a major commercial one, one of the community ones). While I can get it to talk GPIB there seems to be some reliability issues, with what looks to be some form of read buffering happening, with measurement results coming in as the answer to some later command. A few times I've even restarted it as it stopped responding (luckily that hasn't happened once measurements had started). Since I'm hoping to actually use measurements as part of a control loop this is obviously a bad thing. Does anyone have any experience with the SR620 & GPIB as to why this might be happening? I've not experienced this with other instruments (ancient HP, modern Keysight, recent Keithley, 90s Anritsu) I've used with the same GPIB adapter. The SR620 has version 1.48 firmware. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com -- To unsubscribe send an email to time-nuts-le...@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there.
