I did have to add this to my AUTOST file:

    LOAD BIN "GPIBNI;DEV GPIB0 ISC 7"

to get it to work.

I guess you've then got a version that just gives you a text interface and nothing else (apart from BPLUS) like Version 6.33 or so?

The versions after that (the current one is 10.1 I think) are more windows-like and they let you choose wether you want to load drivers via the AUTOST file or a dedicated menu. But the AUTOST way still gives you more options than the menu.

You also get a debugger (not the TRACE command) and a new editor interface which offers Syntax-Highlighting (in color :-P ) which also has copy and paste instead of MOVELINES and COPYLINES.

Apart from that, some things that you could do with the CONFIGURE-command are now accessible via a menu.
Tony_G:
That's exactly it Merox - I think my version is 6.33 or so as you said - I have to do all my config via the AUTOST file - You probably have way more insight into the problem than I do as I'm many versions behind.

I'd love those features but I'm not going to pay Transera prices to get them :(

Happy to help out if needed though, just let me know.

Thanks everybody.  I'm away from home today.  I'll get screen shots tomorrow and update.  Mine is the latest from Transera as of less than a week ago - whatever it was.

As to why I made those changes in various places, I was following notes on HP3048A that were made available (with HP's permission) on an HP history web site.

I got it going.

There was a hint.  National Instrument "NI MAX" didn't run.  Search for solution lead me to Windows runtime 32bit/64bit issue.  I had to go to Microsoft site and download the latest for each.  NI MAX ran and let me configure the adapter.  After that, found few dumb mistake of my own with HT Basic setup.  Then set up the HP3048.  Now, instruments are seen correctly.

Thanks everybody.

I used Agilent E5810B, LAN to my LAN/WIFI, WIFI to "everything" in my lab.
All my instruments talk on any laptop in house running Win10 and HT-Basic
Testing was done with Agilent IO Library suite
It worked flawlessly, I hope all my other projects were as lucky.
