Seems that it needs to save to HP-IB instruments and so forth, also
can us HP-IL....
I'll have to see if I can find data on HP-IL, might be worth rolling
an interface for it, or just stick to the IEEE-488....
Stick to 488, it's a lot easier to use and a lot easier to find. You need
a special IC for the IL interface and it hasn't been available for a LONG
time. There are some good docs available the describe the IL systems but
even those are mostly collectors items now.
Question: Is this model supposed to be able to remember setups
between sessions, or does it lose its memory when the power goes off?
Kinda silly for HP to design it like that, so I wonder if there's not
a backup battery that's down.
I THINK there is. I used to have a 1630 but it's been a LONG time
since I've worked on it.
