The news may be worse that you think. I vaguely remember we had one of these a long time ago at HP/Agilent. You pretty much had to have the Dell workstation; the software didn't run on just anything. I know that the Agilent (now Keysight) PN system came with its own computer and you got an image of the hard drive on a DVD. Even if you have this DVD, you can't use it on just any random PC, it has to be the computer it was made for (it installed Windows whatever). To make it worse, IIRC, Aeroflex has been absorbed in the merger and acquisition frenzy. I'm afraid you have an orphan on your hands. I hope you didn't pay much for it. Good luck.

I recently purchased an Aeroflex PN9000 system with the correct modules for doing phase noise measurements. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to get the software for this system. The only digital interface is GPIB. I believe that from the factory the system came with a Dell workstation with a GPIB card and an A2D card. I haven't seen any of these workstations or the software for sale. I have other GPIB and A2D cards, but no software. If I can't get the software, then reverse-engineering the system seems possible theoretically but could be difficult, especially since there does not appear to be a service manual or any kind of GPIB ICD for the system. Advice?
