Re: S-parameter test sets

Hello Terry,

done, thanks, delete at will. and yes please wrt hp-ib codes, although now I have to save up and buy a usb-hpib adapter. I did some web browsing, and it looks like it will cost me US$400-$500, the latter price being the agilent box of tricks (which I will probably get). Looks like I'd better do some more work (in my now much-better-equipped lab) to earn enough to pay for it and the s-parameter test set.

If you don't need full speed it can be cheaper. I don't know whether this stuff is available in the US but in Europe they used to be cheaper than NI:

Seems prices have gone up since the 300k GPIB is now a whopping 285 Euros. These used to be around $100 or so. They also have a USB-GPIB but that's really expensive.
