Hello all - I have always wanted an HP 3048A system. I have acquired a
11848A, but need an HP 3561A or equivalent.
Is there any substitute to the 3561A?
John the problem is that all the software is specific to the 3561A so
unless you are going to write your own version, you're stuck with the
instruments that the 3048 software will address. One exception is the
Voltmeter, the later meters like the 34401A will work with the hpib
commands for the 3478A.
Also, are their other spectrum analyzers that are acceptable other than the
ones listed here?
The same applies to spectrum analyzers for the HF segment.
There are 3561As around, after a lot of searching I found not one but
two, however both needed some work to get them running perfectly.
Personally I have had much more trouble getting the computer part of the
system to work than I had with the hardware, and I still have not
managed to generate my own calibration files...
John Miles has some excellent pages on his site concerning the 3048A.
