John,
Currently getting a third VSA is not what I can spend my budget on.
I have already got the RF-sections for the two boxes I have, and I have
two T&F conferences to pay for. Getting a major overhaul for the
summerhouse consumes most of my money.
The only thing I've found is an installation description of what to do
with the option floppy. Love to find that one.
Cheers,
Magnus

This was the best answer I got so far - I am sure this isn't what you're
looking for:

I have one more person that I am waiting for an answer/suggestion from - I
am not sure if there are any 3rd parties out there supporting this other
than what you might find on eBay.
Interesting aside is some of these are selling for more than they were
being let go for after the first dot-com-bomb.
Best Regards,

Magnus,
There's an outside chance a buddy of mine may know what to do - I will
check with him but no promises unfortunately.
It could take a few days.
The lib on SourceForge is called NET-SNMP-TCL - Com21 who became TurboNet
(in a manner of speaking) used to use it a lot in addition to the labs I
had at
C-Cube Microsystems/LSI Logic (after the purchase).
I'd like to ask you how you are keeping those things calibrated but that's
even more off topic I suppose than the topic of this thread.
I will let you know what I find out.
Best Regards,
John W.

Magnus,
I used to be responsible for a couple of labs in the late 90's early
2000's
where we had several of these.
First - do you have this option installed:
Add Agilent Instrument BASIC 1C2 ?
Unfortunatly not. The trick question is if there is any chance of enable
or install it.
We automated the VSA's using GPIB and TCL. I jumped through some hoops to
make the TCL library
publicly available on SourceForge - and it is still there. TCL is a
basic
like language for easy instrument
control and worth looking at if you want this to be as easy as possible.
I've worked with TCL and have tried to avoid it in this millennium.
Could be interesting to look at never the less.
I noticed there are some nifty GPIB to USB adapters available now.
We ran 24/7 this way doing low noise analysis.
Indeed. That is one of many uses.
Cheers,
Magnus

Fellow time-nuts,
This is a little off the normal time-stuff, but I wonder if people just
happens to have some suitable input to give.
I have a couple of HP89410A/89441A and would like to see if it would be
nice to see what could be done using the instrument BASIC. How would I
be
able to enable or install it?
Now, don't even bother to write comments about how you can do better
using
software control from a PC with this and that tool, this is explicitly
not
part of the question.
Cheers,
Magnus
