Software for Tektronix Spectrum Analyzer 496P

[f5...@my-dejanews.com]

July 3rd,1998

Dear Friends ,

I'm trying to get a copy of the software package from Tektronix
named G R A S P ( General RF Application Software Package )ref S26RF00
to connect my spectrum 496P to my PC through the IEEE488 port .

This package in apparently not sold anymore for the 490 series
because this spectrum series is too old .

If you have this software can you give me a copy with its
documentation ? I'll reimburse you all the costs you will have .

If you have any other software to drive this 496P spectrum analyzer
do not hesitate to tell me . Any solution under W95/NT , DOS or
Linux will help me .
IT IS NOT FOR A COMMERCIAL APPLICATION BUT ONLY FOR HAM-RADIO DESIGN.
My callsign is F 5 B Q P and I'm located near PARIS .

Many thanks in advance for your precious help .

Best regards (or best 73's for the ham's) .

Suggestions. First thing is check in with resellers of Tek gear,
off the top of my head www.tucker.com and www.bext.com... there
ARE many more. You can also try some places that sell "better"
software... a quick scan of altavista shows:

http://www.wavecommander.com/wc_opening.shtml

have something for the Tek 496... Maybe? I didn't read it.

I'm surprised that there would be no software for a machine
that still sells for ~US$2K...

Thanks for your help , I've contactated WaveCommander and may be
it can help . The only problem is that my GPIB interface card from
National Instrument is too old and does not support windows95 , so
I cannot test their demo version .
