Free HP3478A multimeter control program.
adinsen:
Great to hear! Mine sometimes takes a few tries before I get it to connect. I think it's the windows stack of COM-USB drivers but once it's working, it's rock-stable.

I recently installed the Wine program on my Ubuntu 24.04 system so I could use LTspice. Since LTspice worked (after I realized the installer placed the files
in an unexpected location), I thought I would try the HP3478A Instrument Control Software. To get the HP3478A program up and running the COM port had
to be mapped to the AR488 port. Wine has a regedit program and instructions to re-map the ports from the Wine defaults.
I've attached a screen shot of the key/values that I added.
So it looks like it works. I used the calibration export and data logging features. The large numeric characters on the screen are a little clipped.
I may be able to change the Wine configuration for the HP3478A.exe program to fix it.

If you're still having problems with the meter display I can put up a version of the proram with a smaller font.
