Firmware History

Firmware Revision 7.12 (includes all features of revisions 6.14 and 6.12)
Firmware Enhancements and Features
1. 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.
2.
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.
3.
New HP-IB commands:
HP-IB Cmd
SEGIFBW[D]

most commonly associated with that connector geometry.
6. Single parameter, linear magnitude marker display format now shows in engineering units
(autoscales to U, mu, pU, etc.). HP 8753D (including Option 011) only.
7. Changed the list table default frequency from MHz to GHz. HP 8719D/8720D/8722D only.
