Re: alternatives to 54120b test set
54123a - 34 ghz 54121a - 20 ghz 54121a - 12.5 ghz ?I think that's accurate. I've seen test sets, not saying which one (likely the 54121a though) for around 100$. An anomaly? Perhaps, but deals can be

Re: alternatives to 54120b test set
That's an achievable price for a 54121A. Here's one that went for $105 + ship: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-AGILENT-54121A-4-CHANNEL-TEST-SET-/252046177093

Re: I need a SINT value!
I will give that a try on Monday. I might be able to tell the DVM to do some math too - but I think that slows down the output.

Re: alternatives to 54120b test set
Looking at Block Diagram of 4 Channel Test Set for 54120 Mainframe shows it contains Horizontal (A1) and Vertical (A2) Assembly. Where did you see a 4 Channel test set for under $100? Dennis

Re: I need a SINT value!
You are getting it! but in integer arithmetic. If you convert to floating point at that part of the program you will will most probably get the same result. You need to do division arithmetic before

Re: I need a SINT value!
So..... how do I get the value of (1/x(1,1,))*3 that I need?

Re: I need a SINT value!
To add to Alan's answer and assuming X(1,1) is always an integer (which I'm not sure of, without knowing your program) and V(N,2) is an integer (because it's sent as SINT): If X(1,1)=0, 3/X(1,1) will

alternatives to 54120b test set
Hello group, just acquired a 54120b, seems to "work" fine (was told by seller it didn't power up). Is the designated test set the only one that will work? Are there workarounds/juryrigs? Sounds stupid

Re: I need a SINT value!
the 3/X(1,1) "not working" is probably due to mixed formats and 3/X(1,1) is probably correctly giving a value of zero. Dividing intergers returns an integer and dumps any fractional residuals. Alan

Re: I need a SINT value!
Thanks to all for your help! You pointed me in the right direction and helped me find the many errors in my thinking. As it turns out the values I used in the past were not SINT at all. The 558 I

Hi ok the X array is stored in SINT (I also believe this is signed integer where numbers below 8xxx in hex are positive and above are negative) format. BUT your offset value of 0.051 is not an
