HP 8340B sweeper and 8757A Scalar Network Analyzer. Do they work together?


 

Hi All,?
I have a Sweeper 8350B and a Scalar Network Analyzer 8757A in my lab.
The two are connected like that:
- 1 HP-IB cable between ?''8757 System Interface'' socket on 8757A side and ''HPIB'' socket on 8350B side
- three BNC patches.
Everything works fine.?

Well, I could make a deal for an HP 8340B but I wonder whether I can still use my 8757A with this sweeper.
The available documentation, IMO, is kind of obscure.

Does anyone have experience about?

Thank you ?

Hi Marco,

I have an 8757A with 8340B as the source and it works perfectly!

Best regards,

Thank you Steve,
so you can see the 8757A display annotated with the start-stop frequency set on 8340B?

Great!
So it's time to retire the 8350B and hire the 8340B!
Thank you for your time.
All the best Steve
