Hello Harry,
Note that with RS-232 comms to the 34401 you need to send SYST:REM to set the instrument into remote. Also you need to set up handshaking to be DTR/DSR (and obviously set up stop bits, parity etc to be commensurate with the instrument).
Let me know if you need any more info

Subject: [vrf] Serial Communications to 34401A DMM
Has anyone used RS232 communications to run a HP34401A?
I can send commands to the DMM but the DMM does not talk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....Thanks!

Make sure that baud rate, parity, etc are set the same in the computer and
in the DMM.
