HPIB plotting Message #1 Posted by Stewart Mitchell on 3 May 2006, 6:55 a.m. I have been sent a 3.5" disk that has been produced by a HP8752C / HP9122C network analyser/disk drive combo and contains a phase length plot. Where I work we only have a 5 1/4" drive and so cannot read or plot the trace. I know nothing about HPIB, is there a way if modding our HP9127A (5 1/4" drive) or reading it by PC, given a suitable application? Help please!!!

Re: reading HP9122 floppy on PC Message #3 Posted by Stewart Mitchell on 4 May 2006, 3:54 a.m., in response to message #2 by Vassilis Prevelakis I've just tried to run the Lifutil link but the PC keeps locking uk (running NT4). Do I need HP museum registration or some other prerequisite for actioning FTP?? Fraid I need a bit of hand holding on this one. Thanks SM

It will not run under OSs that protect the hardware from user-level programs (e.g. NT/W2K/XP). LIFUTIL.EXE was issued by HP, but it is no longer supported. The HP Museum (MoHPC) simply distributes this program for free, again without any support (except this forum, of course). ------- I have a bootable partition with MSDOS and the Microsoft TCP/IP so that I can boot from this partition read/write files using LIFUTIL and xfer them to another machine using ftp. **vp
