I had read header in the cpp file, but I couldn't find the file, that should be created in the directory (I try it again, who knows)
Also outstanding is the variant via WinGPIB from IAN.
Been a while, but I just tried the latest version of WinGPIB and the 3458A Calram read works fine.
As a note, the path that is displayed in the "File(s) saved here:" comes up first and as WinGPIB continues to read the data from teh 3458A. The status should say "DONE!" when completed.
Here's an example of where the files is saved.......my USERNAME being "Ian".
C:\Users\Ian\Documents\WinGPIBdata\3458A_Cal_ram_2024-02-15_14-57-47.bin
I.E., it should be in your \WinGPIBdata folder.
Is your PC set up to hide .bin files, or hide file extensions.......better to see all IMHO.
There was an old issue where the WinGPIBdata folder appeared TWICE on a users PC, this was related to how the app was updated from a previous rev, but this was many, many revs ago.
If you still can't find the .bin file then try searching your entire drive C:, you may find it elsewhere.
In regard to desoldering the DS1220Y then it's easy enough if you are experienced in desoldering THP IC's. Some tips:
- Use a desoldering tool, one of those suction ones. Wiggle the gun as you suck out the solder for a second or two on each pin.
- Never, ever try and 'force' the IC out if it's 'stuck' after desoldering, you'll only end up ripping the through hole plating from the board. Not a total disaster but very inconvinient.
- As mentioned below......try
everything to read the GPIB data first......thats your lifeline.
