- Try the HP 3566 or HP 3567. These are PC-based packages that run
- in MS-Windows(tm) and work with the HP 3565S hardware.
- Hewlett-Packard has several other data acquisition products, you
- can find them under the "Signal Analyzers" section of the catalog,
- specifically the Dynamic Signal Analyzers. Call your local sales
- office or I can help you get more information.
-
- Note that, as I work for HP, I'm not a totally unbiased source so
- this isn't a 'review', just 'information'. But it is pretty good
- stuff and worth looking into.
-
- Some general specs: HP 3566A HP 3567A
- channel count: 8 or 16 2 to 16
- cross channel accuracy: +- 0.1 dB +- 0.1dB
- phase: +- 0.5 degree +- 0.5 degree
- dynamic range: 72 dB 80 dB
- max frequency span
- spectrum: 12.8 kHz 102.4 kHz
- network: 12.8 kHz 51.2 kHz
-
- Measurement capability includes frequency response gain & phase,
- coherence, cross spectra, swept sine, transient capture, user math,
- and bunches of other stuff.
-
- Good luck!
- Paul.
