Title: Keysight U1733C data protocol
Post by: KrzysztofB on September 08, 2022, 07:34:56 am

Hi.
Would like to ask if someone has Keysight U1733C meter with U5481B data cable and could help me answer couple questions.

• If cable is emulating serial port? - Software require PL2303 driver so most likely yes.
• Is protocol known and available?

I would like to use that meter for some automated capacitance tests.

Thanks in advance,
Krzysztof

I'm not sure but I think all information about the communication protocol are more or less reverse engineered.
The Keysight forum has some information about it. I tried it years ago but I use my U1733C mostly as a handheld.
