[time-nuts] OT: Prologix GPIB and HP3478A...

[John Miles]

Did you try sending ++auto 0 before powering up the 3478A?

This setting is persistent, so you should only have to do it once to keep
the board from automatically addressing the 3478A to talk.

Also try disconnecting any/all other RS-232 devices from your PC during
initial testing, and/or try a different USB port.
