E4440A won't switch on
Hi, we have a E4440A 26 GHz spectrum analyser at work. Last time I used it was a year ago, and all was fine. Last week a colleague moved it to a different lab and it wouldn't turn on. The standy LED

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
A simple task...
But it is NOT IEE488.2 compliant, so will not respond to such things as
*IDN? etc.? (In fact, traffic like that can totally mess it up at times,
as can other automated tricks to

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hi,
Red Herring alert!
FWIW I use Prologix interfaces (with the 'auto-read-after-write' feature disabled) and program using mostly AutoIT or EZGpib/Pascal s but I don't have to treat the 436 or 438

Re: Synthesizer module in ESG series E4435B
I am making a trial run of few PCBs and I have a E4425B with "250MHz..350MHz unlock problem" to try it on.
I will document the process as I do it.
Cheers

Re: Farnell PSG 1000
Ji Roland,
I have one of these sig gens and like it a lot. I suspect your problem might be due to the not very intuitive keying sequence for setting modes frequencies and levels. I know it has puzzled

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello,
Is this working with the 82357, it would be a great starting point.
Although I just don’t understand why interactive IO doesn’t work.
Has anyone experienced differences between

Great job Leo
Certainly interest here for a drop in PCB, gerber files, the copies of the schematics you worked out the existing functions or even the chip number for the Hittite prescalar:- basically

I have such an animal here a GM 460B with that TFT hermocouple. It is an ancient beast. They got bought up by Marconi down the line.

50 ohm thermocouples was RE: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] Issue with homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
General Microwave used to make thinfilm 50 ohm thermocouples for their power meter sensors. I don’t know if they are in business any more. Regards, John Burgar

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
The article "Very-Low-Level Microwave Power Measurements" shows why a diode sensor is good for low levels,
not 0dBm, so it's good for measuring low power chip radio output with a receiving antenna a

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

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

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.
