50g

Howdy Bob. Well first let me express my total confusion along with
you!I've slapped my head over this 50g more than once but never with
the calc... I love it to much Lol. The hyperterminal I describe is on
your windows os based computer not your calculator. The 8n1 stands for
8 bits  no parity and 1 stop bit. The 19k baud is the transfer rate I
choose to use because thats where I have my gpib converter set (look
at other post) I am using a serial connection because I have not found
a good usb to gpib converter and have not tried to use usb into
hyperterminal because frankly I don't know how to do that yet and have
not had to.I bought a serial cable from
http://commerce.hpcalc.org/serialcable.php and the null modem cable
adapter along with it. I have been fighting the same battle as you
only I wish to talk to my spectrum analyzer (HP35670a) and not excel.
I use excel daily and after you get the 50g talking to your computer
we can address the VBA (visual basic for applications) code that we
will need to parse the data into cells. I am going to need this as
well so I can plot the analysis of frequency response data. So to
reiterate, the 8n1 19k is on your hyperterminal under
start/programs/accessories/communications/hyperterminal and the
hyperterminal supports "com" ports that are serial by nature and the
quick perusal of usb and hyperterminal looked problematic to say the
least. All the rest of you gurus out there "HELP" lol
