Hello. This is my first post. I'm an EE who also dabbles in ME and CS. My first real job was at SRS (Stanford Research Systems), where I designed the look-and-feel and functionality of the SR560 (still in production, wow!), albeit with John Willison's help on the cascode front-end aiding this freshly minted EE. Since then I moved to the aerospace and IoT industries.
I currently use, maintain and upgrade instruments from HP/Agilent, XL Microwave (I love their frequency counters), SRS, Adret, Spectracom and others, plus some mid-70's audio as well. I am ** desperate ** for a User Manual for the Spirent GSS4200 GNSS simulator (e.g., https://www.testequipmentconnection.com/54837/Spirent_GSS4200.php). That model is somewhat unique, in that it's one of only a very few that Spirent released that can/will run without an external "control" program. Using the manual from the GSS6100, I'm able to do a couple of things with the GSS4200 over GPIB, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the GSS4200 into a mode other than single-channel (it supports 6 channels, and has a single-channel mode). I suspect there is a command to do this, but I have not been able to figure it out. I have spent 8+ hours searching sites and archives, to no avail. Spirent has done a rather impressive job of locking down their support software and docs behind a paywall (and I wonder if they even have the docs for the GSS4200 any more). Any help is appreciated, I'm happy to give back if someone wants to snag another GSS4200 (around $700 used) and use it as a simulator. Thanks, _______________________________________ Andrew E.
