Hi
HP 5371A 2828 dated 08 July 1988
Put another way, no it does not have the free update from ~ 1991. I wonder
if HP will drop by and put it in mine ....I have a strong suspicion the
answer is no.

The 5371 / 5372 are never going to be as popular as the 5370 in
terms of people needing support. They just aren't that common.
Getting binary dumps into one of the software packages would be
very nice. The rest of the stuff is much further down my list.
Without a binary dump, you can't do anything that runs over a long
period of time. I'm not sure what HP really wanted you to do in
that case. They may have planed a PC software package and then not
followed through with it.
My guess: The realized that GPIB was to slow for much of that, and
decided to the that stuff on the VXI bus instead...
But that reminds me: do we even know how many different software
versions there were for these beasts ?
Which software versions do people have on their HP537[123]A ?
My HP5372A is 2947 (08 Dec 1989)

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
