The 70590A is useless, except you have the military softwares from Air Force
or Navy dedicated to some gear (F18...) but they need a lot of non HP plug
ins (Comstron, Tern Technology...) under ITAR regulations. It is not used by
the various MMS cal and repair softwares. It is 1? worth. You can only
dismantle it and get the rear connector as te first step to build an
extender (not easy !)..

Hi I have spoken to the UK
supplier I am due to visit him this week but

I don’t think he believed me
when I told him I had only found 7 independent
users of? HP 70000 equipment in the UK and
that a lot? of people stay away
from it as
they do not understand how it all slots together

The problem is a lot look at
the equipment rate book and assume that is the
price

Still
looking for? Receiver personality software

Does anyone still use MATE?? I worked on a
runner up to that program a
long while
ago... ("our" proposal wasn't accepted)....

Did some 488 bus programming
using a TMS9914 controller run by an
8088.

Programmed in PLM-86.

Don't really know where it went, may have
been a wildly popular
standard at the
time.

Historical note:

The US DOD was getting tired
of all the different instruments used in
depot level (not flightline, since most of that
was very custom...)
speaking a different
language, per the manufacturer....

So they had a competition to see who could come
up with a decent
language (and it had a
whole lot of "human factors" concepts thrown
in, since it was somehow supposed to interface
to something portable,
or at least,
that's what I remember...

The company I worked for at the time lost.?
Never quite sure why,
didn't really
understand some of the "they expect us to do it this
way
so we will.... thinking"

but the concept of CIIL was to
be that all the instruments were to
speak a
common language, and that language was to be a replacement
for
the existing instrument languages.

Lots of money was dumped into
the concept.
