[time-nuts] HP 4352A/B with different signal generator

2016-12-31 Thread Bob Bownes
There was a thread about using a different SG with the 4352A/B about seven years ago. I happened upon the answer today. Set the SG type from the LO menu. Type 1: 8664A/B Type 2: 8657B Type 3: 8648B/C, E8241A, E8244A, E8251A, E8255A Type 4: User defined. To define your own, use the GPIB

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the HP4352A/B VCO/PLL analyzers with signal generators other than the 8665A? What is involved? I have a sig gen which is plenty good, so buying an 8665 just to go with a 4352 (which you can now get for about $1K) seems like a waste. Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt: Where can I get one for that price? The Sig Gen phase noise is the driving spec since it needs to be better than the phase noise of the VCO you are measuring. Have Fun, Brooke Clarke http://www.prc68.com Matt Ettus wrote: Does anyone know if it is possible to use the HP4352A/B
