Hi everyone,
We are trying to read trace data to GPIB from our Advantest R3265 spectrum analyzer, but it seems to ignore the GPIB command strings that request data output.
In order to test this, we are using: "Simple GPIB Read & Write Using VISA COM Interface" for visual basic 6 from National Instruments, which can be downloaded here:
The commands that the instrument seems to ignore (from the R3265 printed manual) are: "TBA?" "TAB?" "TAA?" and "TBB?". These commands request data in Binary or ASCII format from memory A or memory B.
Is there anything in VISA that could prevent the spectrum analyzer from correctly receiving these? Many other commands work just fine, while some commands the instrument ignores. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with R3265 spectrum analyzer?
Thanks! Best regards, Tele
