I really don't understand why my programs that I used to use to get data from the HP Spectrum Analyzer and the Marconi frequency generator don't work anymore.
I spent hours trying to debug the code but I can't sort the problem out.
The main problem seem to be with the function recv from the socket library. Somehow it can't anymore get any data from the instruments. The thing I can't understand, though, is that if called directly from the python terminal it works fine!
In particular the problem is with the following lines in my code:
netSock.send("mkpk;mka?\n")
netSock.send("++read eoi\n")
tmp = netSock.recv(1024)
Tried a lot of tickering but it didn't work.
I attach the two scripts I've been using. One (sweepfrequencyPRC.py) calls the other (HP4395PRC.py).
They worked egregiously for weeks in the past. Don't know what happened since then.
