Ahhh… I have the GFI option on this Fluke. The GFI switch was set
to “on” and when I switched it “off” I got a different
start up message, and the AUX I/F started working as documented in the manual.<o:p></o:p>

I was able to submit by program via the
RS232 cable.<o:p></o:p>

You need to test the RS-232 port. I think that info is
in the 9010A Service manual, you can either type it in or grab that from the
FTP site... check at the bottom of this email for info on how to get there...

Hey all. First time posting to this list. I haven't seen many posts
recently, but I am starting to use a Fluke 9010A. I've been spending a lot of
time reading the manuals, but of course I'm also playing with the Fluke to get
some "hands on" experience. I'm trying to write a simple "Hello
World" type of program to make sure my computer and Fluke are set up
correctly and communicating. 
  
I'm
using the RKSIC program and believe that I have the COM port settings matching
the fluke settings. I have compiled my simple program and I am attempting to
load the programmer. RKSIC says to press the "AUX I/F" ,
"READ", "YES." When I press the AUX I/F button, I get a
message saying "NO IO INFO." Is this correct? I wasn't able to
successfully program the unit. When I follow the instructions from the RKSIC
program, I end up with a "9000A REMOTE MODE ERR091." It seems like
the Fluke isn't set up to receive the program correctly. I need to confirm that
the pinouts of the serial cable are correct (I believe they are). My firmware
version is 2.0, displayed on boot up. This may be a little old. (I'm worried
that the documentation won't match the messages I see.) 
  
Am I
sending the program correctly? Or do I need to set up something else on the
Fluke? 
  
Thanks
in advance. I'm hoping to spend more time with it this weekend using the 6502
pod.
