Hi all!
I'm having some trouble programming my 5335a. The manual that Agilent 
has doesn't cover opt 40. Have psyched out several of the codes that 
aren't in the manual.
Using Labview 8, string that is sent is this: in,az1,bz1,ap0,bp0,fn2,trg
(initialize)
(chA impedance 50 ohms)
(chB """"""""""""""""")
(chA preset off)
(chB""""""""""")
(time interval)
(trigger measurement)

CHANNEL A AND B IMPEDANCE COMMANDS ARE GUESSES!!!!

The result is a hang with no measurement.
If I forgo the impedance settings via gbib (doing it manually), I will 
get an error (front panel 1.0). Manual says this is an invalid HPIB 
alpha command sent. I will get a measurement. It takes 1.5 sec or so.

I'm on vacation for the next two weeks. This am will be busy. Will be 
free 16Z give or take.
Thanks,
Norm n3ykf
