All my memories of GPIB horrors are returning.
I've put together ASYN/devGPIB support for an (obsolete) HP8116A
signal generator. I'm trying to communicate with the generator
through an Agilent E5810A GPIB/LAN adapter. As far as I can tell I'm
sending the correct strings but the generator never acts upon the
commands. Every once in a very long while it will return a status
message in response to a command, but most of the time it just sits
there. Once in a while it sets the SRQ line and then leaves it set
forever.
Does anyone out there have experience with HP8116A GPIB communication?
