Need results (as S11 S-parameter listing) of sweep of a device under test with HP 8753A + 85044A test set.

Is there any practical way to extract the tabular S-parameter data without anything attached to GPIB port (=no printer, no plotter, no disc drive, no external PC)? I'm willing to transcribe and/or photograph the screen display, but don't believe I've ever seen a "list the S-parameters on the screen" menu option.

Thanks!

Dave

"nevermind..."

After fruitlessly searching in the various display format options, the solution was where I hadn't looked:

COPY (part of instrument state) > LIST VALUES (near the bottom.)

The listing is R and X (ohms) which will serve the need.

(so continuing to learn about this 40-year-old instrument!)

I strongly suggest learning to use the GPIB port. I use an NI USB-GPIB. Send the command "outpform", and it will return the s-parameters.
