Greetings Everyone,

I hope the new year has treated you well so far and that this message finds you well. My name is JB, and I am excited to introduce myself as the new admin for this forum. I realize I have some pretty big shoes to fill, and I am honored to take on this role for Curtis.

A little about me: My background is in Electrical Engineering, and I have been passionate about learning how and why things work for many years. I am intent on ensuring that our forum remains a welcoming, informative, and engaging place for everyone.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have, and I will do my best to respond accordingly.


Warm regards,

JB

Hi JB
Best wishes on your new job replacing Curtis.
I'm hoping when you have familiarised yourself with all of the Huntron equipment you might be able to assist with getting my Keysight E4980AL LCR Meter working with Workstation 4.3 on my Huntron ProTrack + Scanner setup.
My Keysight 34410A DMM works fine on this setup.
But the E4980AL only gives "Overload" in this configuration.
Alright I'm not using these two pieces of test equipment in the Huntron prescribed manner.
I'm connecting the Keysight DMM to the BNC connector output on the ProTrack Scanner.
And this setup makes good measurements with Workstation 4.3 in this setup.
But as said the LCR Meter just indicates over load on a very simply test of five 47 K Ohm resistors with one end of all the  Resistors connected to COM and the other through the Scanner to the output . If I connect the DMM to the Scanner output Workstation selects the five Resistor values correctly but I only get "Overload" with the LCR Meter connected here.

Keysight are not being very helpful on this.
I know you will probably want to move this to "Out of production Hardware", but I think this is either the LCR Meter or Workstation needs to do something differently than when connected to my Keysight 34410A DMM.
Would when you have the time appreciate yours or Alans comments on this problem.

Hi James,

Thank you for the warm welcome. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any assistance regarding the use of your LCR meter through the Huntron ProTrack + Scanner setup with Workstation. Your setup falls outside the intended use of our products. The LCR integration with Workstation was intended for automating 4-wire test measurements using the Access DH2 and a 4-wire measurement kit.
