Replacing the 8753ES with the E5070A/E5071A
Important Functional Differences
Memory" are supported along with the division and subtraction operations described
above.
The trace displays supported on the 8753ES are: "Data trace only", "Memory trace only",
"Both memory trace and data trace", and "Data math only". The E5070A/E5071A supports
these functions in addition to "Both data math and memory trace".

Device Test Functions

The 8753ES supports the limit test, ripple test, and bandwidth test, while the
E5070A/E5071A supports only the limit test. For the limit test on the 8753ES, a limit test
table is provided for each channel with up to 18 segments are allowed in each table. In
contrast, the E5070A/E5071A allows a limit test table to be defined for each trace and up
to 100 segments to be defined per table.
Among the items read from the test results, the 8753ES supports a pass/fail for each
channel, segment, and point, plus maximum/minimum values for each segment. In
contrast, the E5070A/E5071A supports only a pass/fail of the active trace on each channel.

Analytical Functions

Although the 8753ES does not support the fixture simulator function, the E5070A/E5071A
does. The fixture simulator supported by the E5070A/E5071A include the
balanced-unbalanced transformation function for analyzing balanced devices, and the
matching circuit function.

Save/Recall

For storing data, the 8753ES is provided with an internal register, internal disk drive
(floppy disk), and external disk drive (connected through the GPIB). In contrast, the
E5070A/E5071A
provides an internal hard disk drive, and an internal disk drive (floppy
disk). While the 8753ES can save or recall the device setup, screen color settings, and test
E5070A/E5071A
sequences, the is able to save or recall the instrument setup, segment
sweep table, and limit line table as well as VBA projects. The 8753ES saves display data in
Ò
E5070A/E5071A
JPEG format while the supports the Windows Bitmap (BMP) and
Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format.

Test Sequence Program

Although the 8753ES supports the test sequence program, the E5070A/E5071A provides
an environment for developing VBA programs for automatic measurement.

Outputting to a Printer/Plotter

The 8753ES enables you to establish the print area covering an entire sheet or just a 1/4
sheet, and to define traces, the reference line, and colors of warning messages. In contrast,
the E5070A/E5071A supports only full-sheet output, and an on/off setting for highlighting
the entire screen in connection with color setup.
The 8753ES supports parallel ports, serial ports, and GPIB as printer ports, although the
E5070A/E5071Asupports only parallel- and USB-connected printers.
