Re: E4406A MATLAB Application

Correct, SSM is just an alternate display for the analyzer, intended to passively record and replay trace data based on the current control settings.? Dick's program is an alternative way to access the front-panel controls and work with the resulting data.? ? Both programs can compose wideband sweeps from adjacent 10 MHz spans.? You can expect some spurs in those wideband sweeps, since there's no image rejection. ?These boxes were really optimized to study a particular signal in detail, rather than to sweep across entire bands. ? Dick has a lot of other useful MATLAB programs for GPIB control at https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/profile/authors/6564033-dick-benson (this link also appears at the bottom of the page at http://www.ke5fx.com/gpib/readme.htm where SSM and the other GPIB Toolkit utilities are maintained). ? -- john, KE5FX ?

Subject: Re: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] E4406A MATLAB Application? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at Dick Benson's description of his MATLAB application (as described in the PDF included with his MATLAB files) and comparing his features with those in John Miles' SSM.EXE, it looks to me as though SSM.EXE is quite a different beast from Benson's MATLAB application.?
Benson's application mimics the controls of a basic spectrum analyzer (and includes bells and whistles such as the ability to do Harmonic and IMD analysis, as well as trace memory), while Miles' program seems to me to be much more of a spectrum surveillance tool.
