I'm trying to remotely control the HP 436A power meter. I'm using NI Max to communicate with the instrument. I've been successful in sending it the basic commands to set up the instrument i.e "9D+V" ...... etc. I'm having an issue reading the data from the power meter. I've searched through the manual but I haven't been able to find syntax I need to query the instrument. I would appreciate any assistance that could be provided. I know this instrument is very old but I'm hoping that someone can help with this issue.
Thanks.
Thanks.
NI uses the GPIB "EOI" as the default EOL sequence.
The 436A outputs a streng of characters (see attached) that uses "carrige-return, line-feed" as the EOL sequence. You can probably tell NI MAX to use "\n" for EOL and get this to work.
