An HP 81200 Data Generator/Analyzer Platform consists of a

There are two mainframes available:
• The E4840A with the built-in E4801A controller and three free module
slots.
• The E4849A with the built-in E4806A controller and ten free module
slots.
The latter can be upgraded by adding up to two expander mainframes

The controllers are PCs that include harddisk, diskette drive, a serial and a
parallel interface, SCSI controller, HP-IB and LAN interface.
A system may have an integrated display and data entry panel (E4807A, or
Opt. 001) or a separate monitor, keyboard and mouse.
