CHECK OUT THE WIKI The purpose of the wiki is mainly to allow you to find information on instruments, either from either
- The model number
- The function(s) listed below. Some instruments have multiple functions - for example, the 4195A is a VNA, spectrum analyzer and an impedance analyzer. Therefore the 4195A is listed in multiple categories

Thanks to all for the input.
Sure enough, my 5245L has "H96" on the back, and there is a little sticker above the AC input that says "50-400 Hz", covering up the chassis stenciling which surely said

Sorry, but there's no calibration software, just some firmware files and some other related files. I don't think there's a 4282A manual, but I'll have a look.
