If any of you with a high-end sound card want to repeat
the experiment let me know.
Unfortunately, while my 5328B has the HPIB interface, my PC doesn't, so
I cannot collect data automatically, otherwise it would have been a very
interesting experiment...

If your PC has an ISA slot, or you have an older PC with an ISA slot,
then a GPIB board is not that expensive on eBay. Just save yourself a
lot of hassle and get one from National Instruments, as they are better
supported than other makes.
PCI GPIB cards are current, and so are *much* more expensive.
I guess a modern sound card will not fit in an old PC with an ISA slot,
but there is nothing to stop you using a modern PC with the high-end
sound card, and an old PC with a cheap ISA card for the data collection.
There are free drivers for FreeBSD, linux and possibly Windoze, but I am
not sure about the latter.
