[time-nuts] Configuring LH5 for use with an HP 58503A

[Stan]

Hi Mark,

 

Thanks for the advice-it did the trick!

 

Regards,

Stan

 

Heather wants the device to be in half-duplex mode where it does not echo
the serial port characters.  Unfortunately in version 5  the command that it
sends to turn echo off does not work on all receivers.  It is fixed in the
next version.

 

Right now, try starting heather with the /rx5 /bt command line options.  The
/bt will start Heather in a terminal emulator mode.   Type in the command
(without the quotes):

 

      ":SYST:COMM:SER1:FDUP  0"

 

Type in "SYST:STAT?" and verify that what you typed is not echoed.   Press
END to exit terminal mode.
