On which driver? Talk-only, or the instrument-specific one? When I was working on the last set of drivers, I found talk-only support to be somewhat less reliable on the 53132A than on the SR620 and some other counters. You need to turn on the "Print" mode to get anything at all out of the port in talk-only mode. On a couple of occasions, I found that if I turned printing on without having a GPIB adapter connected and listening at the time, it locked up the port until the next power cycle. So it's probably better to use the 'native' addressable driver for the HP 53131A/53132A/53181A counters. If your 53132A has a serial port you can also monitor outgoing data through it, via the talk-only driver. > > When you use the 'Monitor' button in the acquisition dialog, do you see > new > > data coming across at one line per second, or one line every two seconds? > R: when in standard HP53132A mode in monitoring mode I have an incoming > data > line every second as have to be. But it misses every other data point after you start the acquisition? That's strange -- if you can get both the talk-only driver and the native 531xA driver working, I'd be curious to hear if the same thing happens in both cases. I don't immediately see how it could correctly receive one line per second in 'Monitor' mode while missing every other sample during acquisition, so it would be good to know which driver you're using. -- john _______________________________________________ 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.
