Hello, I have a working 3048A phase noise test set. I'm trying to get a new computer to work with the system. I have finally got the computer to talk to the HPIB 82335A HPIB card. I am using windows 98. When I run the PN.exe program, it immediately says that it can't find the HPIB card. Howe

Hello, Re my email on the 3048A software. I got the unit to work. I have to start windows 98 in dos mode. Don't know why but I'm happy with that. It would be nice to have windows running properly, so if anyone does know the answer, that would be great. Regards Martyn _

You know, I probably need to run the test again and do a better job of tracking room temp. My thermometer is high up on the wall in the shack. The computer sets under the bench in a corner. It does represent a typical afternoon in my shack however. 73, Connie K5CM -Original Message- Fro

For a lot of people the FFT seems to be the "one size fits all" solution to any frequency and phase related problem in DSP. It is NOT! For frequency/phase detection & comparisons from sets of sampled data the methods explained in http://ipnpr.jpl.nasa.gov/progress_report/42-121/121G.pdf are MUCH
