Re: HP8970 Companion


 

Hello Michael,
I have a HP8970 at home in my radio shack (M0XPA) and I use it for my experiments and preparing LNA and down converters for contests and field days.

I watched your video and the 8970 Companion is a very nice piece of software, which adds tremendously to the usability and recording of measurements.
My compliments to you.

Now I would really love to use your program.......

I don't have any linux experiences nor use it., so now I need some advice.

How do I get this to run on a dell notebook? (win7)

Is there a way to trick MS to live in a Linux environment?

I do have drivers for MS for my GPIB bus....I use the GPIB toolkit (KE1FX) to plot my HP spectrum analyzer, which works well.

Is there anywhere (Link?) that describes what I need and to install to have the 8970 Companion to work?

Cheers

Peter

PS: I am out of my comfort zone when it comes to Linux and programming. More a HW person.

I've written an open source Linux program to control the Hewlett Packard 8970 Noise Figure Meter.

It can create plots of noise figure and gain from the acquired HP8970 data.

Now available on Github

I describe it here on YouTube
