The GPIB unt for these DMM's is a separate USB to GPIB module, not a plugin module.
This is a bit confusing. The picture of the backside of the 3055A on the Siglent America website clearly shows a GPIB connector on the instrument itself.
It was my understanding that you, with the 3055A received a USB to GPIB dongle where the GPIB end of it obviously would plug into the GPIB connector on the instrument.
Are you saying that there is no (and should be no) actual GPIB connector on the 3055A and that the dongle/adapter you get is a GPIB to USB adapter, ie it the adapter connects between an existing GPIB network and the USB port of the 3055A? That sounds a bit strange....
Yes, this is the situation with my unit. Separate Dongle. I'm not saying Siglent did not intend GPIB to be integral to the 3055A, but it's not in mine.
I understand the confusion, even my Quick Start guide and E-manual show the image you describe.
Current data I/O's are:
Rear USB
Front USB
LAN
Excuse my ignorance but when GPIB is connected via USB, would the need still arise to use the other I/O's?
Would you just pull one and use another?
I can use EasyDMM software with either LAN or USB and switch from one to the other while both are connected and set LAN or USB EasyDMM to capture data to a USB stick on the front panel.
Do we need more total functionality than this?
As Jade (Siglent) keeps a watch on these threads, we might hope for an update if GPIB might change.
