Softplot with Prologix interface revisited

[PA5Y]

Hello I really hope that someone can help me with this, my 2nd attempt at finding a solution.

In Aphena softplot I am unable to get my Prologix V6.0.0.1 USB to GPIB interface to work. It works perfectly well with the KE5FX GPIB tools. I have an E4406A, HP-8712 VNA and an HP-8562A, 7040.exe is able to get screen grabs from these instruments easily. I can get data from the E4406A in softplot using the LAN connection but not using GPIB.

For instance should which of the following options should I choose:

• National Instruments or Computerboards GPIB Card
• Hewlett Packard HPIB Card

Then
GPIB Card DLL Filename - no idea what this is and the documentation does not help at all, do I need to use VISA drivers?

Then
GPIB Card Symbolic Name - GPIB0? How can I set this or determine what it is? Can I use the KE5FX GPIB configurator?

The rest is obvious enough. Please help I would really like to get this working.

Regards

Conrad

Or should I set it up as serial device?

Somebody must know :-)

Hello

Has anyone successfully updated the firmware in the E4406A using the Agilent updater software?  I am having problems with this.
