Nx-1997:
I just tested it in Windows 7, works fine. The manuals says default settings are 9600, NONE/8 bits, Start Bit 1, Stop bit 2. On some meters the Parity and data bits may be set to Even / 7 bits by default.

Ok, I managed to make it work: I am not sure what exactly was wrong but the default settings given by Nx-1997 worked. The only thing I did was to install Net Framework 4.7.2 dev sdk (I was getting ready to debug the source code). After this the software worked like charm.
Thanks a lot for everyone's help,

New to GPIB, but have a 3478A and a Keithley 2015 and would like to log as well as learn about GPIB.

Will a UGPlus adapter work with this software and my 3478A?

If not, could you give me some specific adapter models that would work?

Any usability with my 2015?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi, jeffjmr

The UGPlus adapter won't work with any of my software, unless you compile a special version for your UGPlus adapter. Because it is a true USB device not a virtual com port emulator like the AR488 gpib adapter.

I would recommend you try the ar488 adapter.

Step 1: get the ar488 pcb gerber files from user eliocor's post from this link and upload it to the jlpcb website:

Step 2: Get the Centronics Connector 57 Series 24 Pin Male (GPIB Connector), cheapest price:

Step 3: Get some Arduino pro micros ATmega32U4 5V 16Mhz

Hope this helps, I created a bunch of these adapters following the above steps.

The Keithley 2015 has a serial port and uses SCPI commands, you can try the fluke 8846a compiled version I uploaded and see if that work.

That looks like an interesting project that would certainly test my SMD assembly skills. Not sure I have the patience for it at this point in time, though. I know nothing about Arduino. Don’t even understand your step 3.

 Is there an off-the-shelf adapter that would work? The only PC I have is a notebook with USB 2.0.

Besides the adapter, what else do I need beside your software and my PC?

If this is not the place for newbie advice, I understand and will try to educate myself a bit more on GPIB before proceeding.

Thanks,
Jeff
