Re: Issue with homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
No
You cannot have a 50 Ohm Thermocouple, a Thermocouple is effectively zero Ohms.

Re: E4406A MATLAB Application
Greetings.
For those who use the HP E4406A VSA, I wrote a python script that concatenates several 10MHz spans to make a wider spectrum plot. The tool uses TCP/IP to commuicate with the E4406A, so no

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

Re: Issue with homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Is there any other company on the planet who produces 50 OHM thermocouples? It seems odd that such a thing is unobtainable.

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hi Staffan
The physical layer for IEE-488 itself is essentially unchanged from the original.? 488.2 deals more with the messaging protocol.
This is where all the "universal" commands originated (all

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello,
Many thanks. Notice that I replied to your direct mail. I don't think the problem lies in the 436, but rather in how the USB dongle 82357 performs communication. Don't know if the GPIB

Hi Saffan,
I sent you in PM some military manual for 436A. Go from page 3-18 onward,
there is about HPIB communication.

Some more findings... It seems like my Arduino can talk to the instrument

KE5FX (aka John Miles) has a program to do this (SSM.EXE) as part of his GPIB toolkit http://www.ke5fx.com/gpib/readme.htm and http://www.ke5fx.com/gpib/ssm.htm for details.

You will see, not easy task to linearze and to compensate this kind of
