;; 192.168.1.229 Device Keysight Technologies,34461A, do not match: Agilent Technologies,34461A,MY53200769,A.03.03-02.40-03.03-00.52-01-01

So I dont know what to do next?  I suspect some devious Keysight stuff?  Is there some way to test my ehternet link ? I had a lots of trouble with Keysight 10 years ago trying to make it work with Benchvue and usb - wasted months with BS from their head office.  USB was a new thing for them, badly implemented.

The issue is that your meter is a Agilent, not a Keysigt meter.

It is easy to fix:
  1) Download the attached file
  2) Replace the similar named file in the TestController/Devices directory with it.
  3) Delete the Keysigt entry in your device list
  4) Add the Agilent entry instead (It is defined in the new file).

Note: I have only added the 34461A, if anybody wants the 65A or 70A I can also add them

would be nice to put this in a text file instead of a lenghty one here ???

Just trying to be precise and polite, because we are dealing with two files with the same name but different content - bad news :rant:
so the post was intended for HJK

;; Use "Load devices" page for selecting devices to load. Most devices will only load if they are connected and ready.

You did not replace the Keysight device on the "Load devices" page with a Agilent.

The error messages means that the #idString line do not match what the device returns and because it still says Keysigt you have not loaded the Agilent definition.

 here's what I put in to the devices folder

Please, dont post the full file, it is a lot of noise in the thread.
robint:
Ok 41 sheets of code is gruesome :horse: but you gave me a dilemma with a filename with two different contents  - but I did the replacement in the directory

I thought you said that when TC starts up it automatically detects what instrument it is connected to?
So It now comes up with
Agilent 3661A
Socket
Address sn:MY53200769
Baud  -
Enable  ok
Notes

Does this mean its looking for an Ethernet cable and not finding USB?
I did find the Agilent in the "search socket " window " and selected that and it now comes up by default  but still not displaying any values?
Your system doesnt give info as to whether a successful connection has been made eg IDN?

I finally got the original Benchvue loaded and it seems to work and log - I will post a separate topic on this - its been a very very fraught journey and its really hidden away and FREE as it was originally
