The unit is equipped with a HPIB interface and I happen to have a GPIB PCM-CIA card for the laptop. Before putting up my transmit loop I would like to work on acquiring some software to control the HP3586B. What I would like to do would be to be able to increment the output level, and shift frequency. This would allow the unit to send other types of modulation, that are more speed efficient than just QRSS. Can anyone help locate software? Is very costly? Does what I propose seem feasible. I really know very little about GPIB/HPIB. The manual is available with all the commands I think are needed? Comments please? Thank you all PaulC W1VLF
