Greetings to all, 
thank you Magnus and Bob for the information, I hope there is someone who has 
the image copy of the Eprom so I can try to update my HP 5372A I would be 
curious to try it with this option!  
Regarding the use of Stable32 it is possible to please have some more 
information on how to configure the program as long as it acquires data from 
the 5372A, I have both a Prologix interface and a N.I.  what do you recommend 
to use?
Regards
73 de IZØTYD - Claudio
