Protek C3100 Counter Programmers Reference?

[TheWaterbug]

Hi! Does anyone here have the command set for the Protek C3100 Universal Counter?
 
ProTekTest.com (dead site) faxed me a copy (yes, faxed!!!) back in 2004, but I can't find the hardcopy, and I don't have any evidence that I ever scanned it. 😡
 
My 2004 email reply to ProTekTest.com read, "Thanks! I just received it. Cryptic , but it looks like it will work just fine."
 
And cryptic it must have been. I did find one old VBA code snippet that I used to read from this device. I sent:
 

Code: [Select]

F2;G10
to set up a frequency reading on one of the ports, and then sent this query:

Code: [Select]

RM?
to actually get the measurement.
 
But that's all I've got!
 
Thanks!

Aha! I found it! This 2016 post here on eevblog had a malformed link to the owner's manual, due to this site parsing the [square braces] in the filenames, but I was able to parse enough of the URL to find that repository, and it has both the User Manual and the Protek Generic GPIB/RS232 Programming Manual!

The front page of that repository site looks sketchy as hell, but the manuals section is a treasure trove!

Hope this helps someone!

p.s. if anyone else wants to link to any of those files on that site, manually escape the [square braces]  in the URLs with %5B and %5D, respectively.
