Ok=E9 thanks,
[HP59401 HPIB analyser]
I got the user/service manual, it's handy when
fixing the thing.
Does this manual have any detailed information (ROM dumps, state
diagrams, etc) on the operation of the various state machines in the
instrument. It's the only bit I've not seriously tried to understand yet.
I'll try it out when I'm going to play with
the multi-programmer.
Which multiprogrammer do you have? I have a 6940B with the 59500 HPIB
interface (I had to make up the interconnecting cable, but it's just 50
pin microrions on each end, wired straight through) and a good selection
of I/O cards.
For doing quick tests on HPIB stuff like that, I find the handiest thing
to used is an HP71B + HPIL interface + HP82169 HPIL-HPIB translator.
