Free HP3478A multimeter control program.
Ringmodulator:
Hi lmester,
thank you for this programm.
It works with a Emanuele Girlando Arduino GPIB adapter.
My first contact with a Arduino board.
Could backup the cal data of my two HP 3478a.
One question: What is the "X-Ohm" measurement function?

This firmware is highly compatible with the Prologix command set. You can find it here: https://github.com/steve1515/gpibusb-firmware
This firmware allows the Galvant adapter to work with the regular version of lmester's HP 3478A control program. Binary read/write works as well, so the meter calibration can be read and written.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the new firmware!
I can confirm that it works with the regular version for reading of the calibration constants but not for writing. Can you post the interface settings and the .cfg file that works for you?
Thanks,
Miti

Hi Miti.
Below you will find what I'm using for settings.
When writing the updated firmware, I also created a program that reads/writes and displays detailed calibration information. My program is compatible with lmester's calibration files as well. Can you try out my program and see if writes are working when you use the updated firmware? lmester's program and mine should be using the same commands over GPIB. I'm interested to hear if my program works for you or also fails.

I've been notified that my program is not working with the current release of the ar488 Arduino firmware (0.47.53). It is working with the 0.46.03 version. Until this problem is resolved you should use the 0.46.03 ar488 firmware.

I believe Miti is using my customized Galvant GPIB-USB firmware version 6 and not the Arduino. I just want to clear this up in case there is any confusion.
