I have code that uses the 8757d with an 83600 series source, an 8350 series source or an E8257D series source on the 8757 HPIB System Interface. However, when i attempt to use an 83752 source I am unable to read data from the source using the Passthrough command. The passthrough never completes when using the 83752 whereas the same code works fine with the 83600, 8350 and E8257D series of sources. I appear to get data into my input buffer, but the passthrough hangs up and the 8757 never says Passthrough Complete.
My understand was these sources are all compatible, but it seems the 83752 is doing something odd as compared to the other sources listed here.
Can anyone tell me what the difference is?
thanks.

Unfortunately, I do not have the information you are after. I was, however, able to pass this by a few engineers who worked with these units long ago. Without any documentation to rely on, they recalled...
"They should have firmware version 6.2 for the 8757D (or 7.1 if it has an LCD display.)
Normally, passthrough is exited once you re-address the 8757 (with an Output 716 typically)."
I hope this was helpful -
