Hi Guys, I am trying to get rs-232 output from multimeter 34450A and not having any luck . I have it enabled on front panel utility panel , Do i need to query it or should it just appear on my terminal program (teraterm) Baudrate is configured to 9600 baud 8N1. Have tested port in teraterm with another device so i know teraterm is working . Any suggestions? Thanks |

have you followed this from Keysight: https://edadocs.software.keysight.com/kkbopen/how-can-i-set-up-rs-232-connection-on-34450a-dmm-614506321.html Maybe you need an null modem cable or the drs dtr crossover ? Or Tie the DSR pin (pin 6) on the RS-232 connector high like the 34401A |

Yes I did follow that. But still no data through the port. I just thought I was missing something in setup. I reached out to Keysight but no response from them. I scoped the output lines RX and TX but nothing. Do you suppose that RS232 is an option for this meter? |

I dont know this meter, i'm not sure if it has a talk option like the 34401a Talk means, it will output the measured values only, no controls over rs232 In the user manual, they just say cross the TX and RX pins between the meter and pc, and the meter configurations settings Do you use an USB to rs232 adapter ? You could connect it with the usb cable, you need usbtmc drivers or the keysight software .... if you want to control it, use old i/o library suite for the dmm connectivity software IOLibSuite_17_1_19313.exe DMM_Connectivity_Utility_1.0.2.0.exe They support my 34410a ... should do okay for the 34450a |

no, i do not want to control it , Just want it to stream rs232 data I have attached a pic of my wiring. Its a new meter got it a couple months ago as a backup to an older HP 34401A. Part of a calibration fixture, so as one meter is sent out for cal, we can swap this new one in. |
