Sounds like an interesting box, all right. Send me one and a GPIB manual for it, and I'll support it. :-)
In all seriousness, I imagine its command set is pretty different from my 8566's, since it appears to be a much newer and more advanced piece of equipment. It took a week of back-and-forth emails before I was able to get the 8560E analyzer working, even though they are largely 8566-compatible. So I am not too optimistic about being able to add support for the more exotic analyzers that I can't put my hands on. The phase-noise app is open-source, though, so anyone else is welcome to help out. -- john, KE5FX > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Brooke Clarke > Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 2:05 PM > To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Oscillator and Synthesizer (and Analyzer) Specs > > > Hi John: > > How about the HP 4395A.
