Hello,
anyone tied to run HP35900C directly using pure GPIB commands ?

Wall-boy: is the 35900C an internal (inside-computer) A/D board?
I haven't been able to get any internal A/D boards to work with anything newer than Windows 95 or NT4, if memory serves. So these days we have two external A/D boxes on our units, both 35900E; we used that with Windows 2000 and A.09 and now with Windows 7 and OpenLab, and now have LAN 35900E control.

HP35900C is an external Multichannelinterface with RS232 and GPIB.
I think HP35900D is a ADC board (maybe ISA)

IMO
HP35900 is external ADC, last letter indicate MIO board installed (HPIB-RS|INET|Jetdirect)

There is also old video card with same product number

Ok, agree
So the HP35900 "C" has RS232 and GPIB.
And with 'antonK's' info all HP35900 "x" with GPIB support should use the same GPIB command set.
The general GPIB Commands as "*IDN?" etc. does not work for me yet.
Is there any simple test software to access the HP35900 via GPIB ?

IDN*? is for test-and-measurement instruments only (oscilloscopes, generators etc )
Analytical HP/Agilent instruments ALWAYS use own proprietary non-standard protocols.
the only "test" software for this moment is Chemstation itself.

try SYID\r\n
and please post ADC responses here

I used IO Libs 15, only thing i have actually.
Checked on "\r\n\" and "\n" and some other and several timeout settings.

Are you using ChemStation?

@nimbi63
No, i do not have Chemstation.
Trying to make the HP35900 useable for Unichrom

I was wrong
35900D is a hybrid of HPIB and ADC on single ISA-board
