TERRA Operative:
What GPIB-USB adapter are you using? I have the Agilent/Keysight one found on ebay and using the Keysight IO software works fine.

I am very interested in a copy of your firmware if we can figure out how to get it copied out.  ;D
Ross2:
I Just have a cheap "UGPlus USB to GPIB" from ebay. I just ordered the Keysight 82357b. I'm not sure it that's the issue, It could be something that I am doing wrong. I can not turn off the "Off Bus" setting on the GBIP settings on ether scope. I tried it on a TDS640a and a TDS754c that was upgraded to a TDA784c. It's under Utility - System Config - IO - GPIB.
picburner:
These inexpensive adapters "live on their own" in the sense that they do not meet the VISA standard.

In fact, in the product description it says: "The software includes ASCII format command/data transfer functions and binary data/file transfer functions between PC and GPIB equipment. We already compact everything you need for driving the equipment with GPIB interface. Therefore, you can eliminate the complicated VISA library ".

The problem is that just for this reason they are not compatible with applications that use the VISA standard as in the case of "Unified Tektool"
Tantratron:
I've been using my MacBook Air and the legacy GPIB-USB from National Instruments, it works very good with many operations.
picburner:
In fact, I was referring to Ross2's "UGPlus USB to GPIB" adapter.
There should be no problems whatsoever with adapters from Keysight and National Instruments.
