Hi Dan , nice to hear from you . I hope you are well and avoiding this virus . I was surprised at how easy it seemed using GPIB with the DAS , mush easier than with some early instruments . The

I also am not completely clear on how to apply the info in this thread to the 5000 series... pointers/instructions please! Thank you, Hal
