Default Need help with GPIB on HP 3586
I have questions like:

* The 3586 manual says in one place that the frequency increase/decrease
buttons do not function in the remote mode. In the chart of commands, it
says that the GPIB command for increase is UP and the GPIB command for
decrease is DN. Does anyone know whether these are valid commands or not?

* Can anyone provide a step-by-step procedure for the command sequence to
read the 3586 signal magnitude using GPIB?

* Which GPIB adaptor do you use?

Many thanks.

Cheers,
John - KD5YI
