+GPIB / HP 53131A
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a set of captures of traffic with an HP53131A counter using an
+AR488 (Arduino bitbang GPIB adapter).
+
+
+Logic analyzer setup
+--------------------
+
+The logic analyzer used was a generic FX2 board (at 500kHz):

+hp53131a-idn-read.sr
+--------------------
+
+Send *idn? and receive instrument ident string.
+Send 'read?', wait for acquisition and receive a measurement (10MHz frequency).
+
+
+hp53131a-ton.sr
+---------------
+
+Set HP53131A to period measurement and talk-only mode and AR488 to
+listen-only mode.
+
+This setup is specifically useful for recording long logfiles of timing data
+for use in ADEV measurements by "time-nuts":

+
+Note: the regular NRFD/NDAC handshake occurring before and after the LON
+transfer is related to the AR488 timing out non-existent transfers and may
+be incorrect.
