Re: N9020A
I've always used SOFTPLOT for screen capture, great for older equipment, vector captures so can overlay, reannotate etc. Yes Linux would be fine, like HPUX on the older kit. I guess everyone knows

Re: N9020A

Re: 5342A: sometimes counts, sometimes not

Re: N9020A
Hi Hardy It may be the case that some people might not realise how good the MXA is. It is very close to being a high end spectrum/signal analyser. It should also be possible to use it with the

Re: 5342A: sometimes counts, sometimes not

Re: N9020A
On a lot of Windows based test gear, there can be a ghost backup file on the HDD that was put there by the manufacturer. This allows a full factory restore if you keep a copy of this file. It's best

Re: N9020A
For obvious security reasons, it's best to keep the older Windows based analysers away from networks, especially those with internet access, but apart from that, I think the Windows OS is a bonus on

Re: N9020A
To be fair to the MXA, it is classed as a mid range analyser, and was arguably the best in its class when first introduced. With this in mind, the phase noise performance is quite good for an analyser
