A new IF bandwidth filter setting of 6000 Hz can now be selected in addition to the
previously available settings of 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000, 3000, and 3700 Hz.
Swept list mode, a new list frequency sweep mode, takes data while sweeping through the
defined frequency points, increasing throughput by up to 6 times over a stepped sweep. In
addition, this mode allows the test port power and IF bandwidth to be set independently for
each segment that is defined.
New HP-IB commands:
HP-IB Cmd

swept list mode.
Selects either the stepped list mode or the swept list mode to use
with a list-frequency table.
SEGIFBW[D]

(Touchstone)
ASCII formats.
Error numbers (error table) are now synchronized with all revisions.
Data files with
now have suffixes dependent on the channel number (Sl or S2).
In operating parameters pages, the specific model number has been replaced with the word
ANALYZER.
Calibration kit labels under the SELECT CAL KIT menu now include the HP calibration kit
most commonly associated with that connector geometry.
Single parameter, linear magnitude marker display format now shows in engineering units
(autoscales to U,
etc.). HP 8753D (including Option 011) only.
Changed the list table default frequency from MHz to
HP
only.
Updated the 7mm calibration constants based on the HP 85050 series calibration kits.
