John:
I looked and found many implementations of TCL.
Which one is yours, and is there any documentation about using it to
control instruments over HPIB? Some of the links I looked at suggest it
is a general purpose language.
BTW, I'm using an Ethernet to GPIB. Love it!
Thanks & 73,
Jim

Magnus,
I used to be responsible for a couple of labs in the late 90's early 2000's
where we had several of these.
First - do you have this option installed:
Add Agilent Instrument BASIC 1C2 ?
We automated the VSA's using GPIB and TCL. I jumped through some hoops to
make the TCL library
publicly available on SourceForge - and it is still there. TCL is a basic
like language for easy instrument
control and worth looking at if you want this to be as easy as possible.
I noticed there are some nifty GPIB to USB adapters available now.
We ran 24/7 this way doing low noise analysis.
Best Regards,
John W.

Fellow time-nuts,
This is a little off the normal time-stuff, but I wonder if people just
happens to have some suitable input to give.
I have a couple of HP89410A/89441A and would like to see if it would be
nice to see what could be done using the instrument BASIC. How would I be
able to enable or install it?
Now, don't even bother to write comments about how you can do better using
software control from a PC with this and that tool, this is explicitly not
part of the question.
Cheers,
Magnus
