[time-nuts] Pendulum CNT91 with TimeLab

[GandalfG8 at aol.com]

Hi John
 
Just as a quick follow up, I'm still intrigued as to why I've been  
seemingly unable to get the CNT91/FCA3100 to run in talk-only mode and might  well 
come back to that when I have a bit more time but, from a TimeLab point of  
view, with the HP emulation up and running would there actually be  anything 
to be gained by doing so?
 
Regards

That's probably what's happening.  If the returned  string doesn't contain
"Hewlett", it will assume it's a valid sample value  and try to evaluate it.
Can you try unzipping these replacement .TLL files  into the "drivers" 
folder
beneath your TimeLab installation  directory?
http://www.ke5fx.com/tic_drivers.zip 

After you do that,  there should be a checkbox in the acquisition dialog 
that
you can uncheck  to keep it from trying to automatically identify the 
counter
model.   Let me know if that helps.
