I'm porting over my HP3458A NVRAM data dumper program to use John Miles GPIBKIT routines. It should make it usable with most GPIB interfaces out there and be able to run under more modern versions of Windoze. My first crack at it is working, but it is quite a bit slower than my original program. Not sure if anything can be done about that... BTW, my program does verify the checksum bytes in the CAL ram so there is a check that the dump went OK. Without Poul-Henning's work none of this would be possible.

Mark, Would love to try it. I think the main reason to hang onto the calibration data is to be able to send the meter to Keysight and find out if the meter was 'in spec' when it arrived for calibration. If so, gives great confidence that the meter is a 'good one'.

Mark, What language/development environment are you using to read 3458A memory? On Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 6:27 AM, J. L.
