Thanks for the suggestions Scott(s)!

It ended up being something simple. With no signal coming into the 5328A,
it did not produce any output over GPIB. I would have expected a continuous
readout of 0Hz. Once I applied a signal, a simple GPIB "read" request
returned the measurements I needed. No need to send any commands. This is
in talk-only mode.

The issue with talk-only is you don't have remote control of instrument settings hence talk only
