I recently bought an HP 3421. I made the Pilbox and I am trying to save the cal data. I am kind of new to hp programming language and I am struggling to do it. I am able to send and receive simple commands (like measuring voltage or resistance) but I don't now if i'm doing the correct procedure to read the cal data.
Jeff's version of ILCtrl (v1.04) doesn't recognize my pilbox so I'm using Cristoph ILCtrl v1.17.
I put B2 in "Data" and press "Send". Then I erased B2 and press "Enter" but I'm only getting a bunch of 8s (-8.88888E+8 to be precise)
Am I doing it wrong?
I would appreciate a "for dummines" version of the precedure.
Thanks and sorry for my broken english

B2 is the command to read the cal data from the 3468 DMM and CAL1 is the command to read the data from the 3421A. See the programs in this post.
