[volt-nuts] GPIB Issue with 3458A

[Todd Micallef]

Randy,

Check that your firmware version on the Prologix is up to date. The latest
USB version is 6.107. You can see it in the Prologix GPIB Configurator
utility that can be downloaded from a link on their website.
http://prologix.biz/resources.html

I have uploaded a pic of my settings shown in the utility.
