3468B DVM - 41Jeff - 07-12-2003 I have an HP 3468B digital voltmeter and am trying to do some remote measurement logging with it using my HP 41. The problem is that when I do an IND to get the meter data I get a Transmit Error. However, other Meter command functions work fine, includng the INSTAT command during which the 3468B transmits a data byte back to the 41. So I think the IL loop is OK? But, because the only manual I have is a partial one for a 3468A, I'm thinking I might not have a setting just right. Maybe the DVM is sending back some other form of data? Also, what is the difference between the A and B models?
Thanks
Re: 3468B DVM - Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) - 07-12-2003 Hi; I do not have the 3468D, but I was wondering about one thing: IND is Input Data, right? Shouldn't you command TRIGGER before read data? Just a guess.

Re: 3468B DVM - 41Jeff - 07-12-2003 Hi Luiz, I tried that also but no luck. I also tried it with the single trigger function but still get Transmit Error. When I power the meter up the self test is Ok also, but I'm wondering if it tests the IL interface? Thanks for the help. I enjoy your posts on the 41 system very much. I've owned one of several 41c.cv.cx since High School.

Re: 3468B DVM - A and B models - Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) - 07-12-2003 Hi, V; I wish I could help more, but I have no other source of information except an HP Test and Measurement Catalog taht simply describes units resources. A and B reffer to workbench and field models. You'll conclude which is which based on yours: if it is a field-like, the A-unit is a workbench designed. As far as I know, both have identical hardware and firmware, but I do not know if their ID is the same, say, if they identify themselves for 3468 only or if they add A or B at the end of the ID string. Sorry I could not help further more. And thanks for your kind and supporting words :)

3468 A/B and manual - Renato - 07-12-2003 HP Journal of Feb 1983 describes 3468A and states that B version is rack mount with identical features. I know where you can get a manual for 3468 - email me at r_toi at yahoo dot com.
Re: 3468B DVM - Vassilis Prevelakis - 07-13-2003 Maybe this will help (p. 47 of the manual)
