Hi, Finally able to talk to the meter through RS232. Is there any way to dump the rom contents using the RS232? or do the chips have to be put in a reader to get the values out? MK

MK, I am not aware of a way to read the EPROM's without removing them. Dave Partridge has done a lot of work on these along with Mickle, both on the list. Dave Partridge's EPROM images are on Didier's site. I have read the EPROM's from two of these units, of two different vintages IIRC, and can send them to you if you need them. I used the images from one to upgrade the other to the latest version that I/we know of. I know that there is an undocumented command for the HP 3458A that allows you to read the memory but I don't know if the same sort of 'global' access exists on the 7081.
