Alberto, I do almost all my logging with RS-232. It has the advantage that it's OS-independent; i.e., it requires no device drivers (since almost any OS supports RS-232 out-of-the-box). You can find cheap, surplus RS232-GPIB converters which will work well on a HP 5328A. To get more serial ports on a PC I use 4- or 8-way USB-serial converters. Again these can be found surplus for next to nothing. My favorite are those by Edgeport. /tvb _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
