Tony,
Thank you. Yes, I think HT basic and later version of basic by HP are the same thing. Mine is a PC is windows 10 connected to NI-USB-HS. On it, I have a Transera HT Basic development version.
As I said earlier, I know physical connection and the setup works because another software can access all devices and they actually work like they should. However, HT basic implementation doesn't. I'm running HP3048 software for phase noise measurement. I have populated the configuration part of software with all devices with 7<GPIB ID> format as required. On HT side, I have OPTION > RUN env setup with the following enabled: BDAT LSB first, Create BASIC for Windows, Enable long filenames, Enamble MSI, enable DIM, save ASCII, enable long CAT dates. Change MSI is set as Add GPI BNI support, and I have a check mark on load at startup. Filemenu has Change MSI on open is selected.
First few times, I was actually able to start up the HP3086 and go through the menu. So I did all that. But it saw none of the devices. Then, I went to the devices setup and eliminated all the equipment that isn't actually there. Now, I can't even startup the software. As soon as I startup the software (HP), it goes to error in a part where it go through the loop where it tries to check all the devices in a chain. Restoring the config table to original version didn't help at all.
I have John Miles PN3086 also installed on that box. That one works. Sees every devices and does what it is supposed to do. HP's original version does not.
Did you have to do anything more/different to get HP basic to recognize devices?
