Excellent, I have a Prologix adapter, use it all the time. I'd
welcome a copy of your PY prog. You can privately email me: hp at
quackers dot net.
Again, thanks.

Bill,
I have the cal. software ( HP BASIC). As you said, it needs a lot
of specific HP gear, but I re-wrote it in Python so it can be run
on a modern PC with Prologix GPIB USB adaptors. And it is possible
to use it with almost any signal generators/power meters/spectrum
analyzers.
Further, the 4195A does not necessarily need a full cal; if you
had to replace the EEPROM, you can also just do the calibrations
that need the EEPROM.
* there are AFAIR two voltage-controlled bandpass filters in the
bottom unit. The EEPROM stores the tuning voltage vs. centre
frequency table.
* I think there is also an ALC loop in the bottom unit; and the
EEEPROM has a table of the frequency dependent output power
variations.
