[time-nuts] 20220227: Beginner problems with Lady Heather and HP Z3805A

[Andrew Kalman]

All:

I'm trying to get Lady Heather 5.00 to work with my Z3805A. I know the
Z3085A is working and talking (via direct SCPI commands over RS-232, see
below) AND Lady Heather will launch and appear to do an initial connection.

But then, Lady Heather just beeps every few seconds, and is completely
hung, necessitating killing the app. This on Windows 7.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
