| APKVblog:
Hi all, I found many PSN50 in good prices. I really would like to buy it... But... Can anyone confirm if it is working with Windows software AnritsuPSN50 avialable on EEVblog?? Or maybe there's other soft that works? I have to be sure that i'm not gonna waste money (it is a half of moth salary for me) Can anyone help? TIA |

There seems to be a software called CalXpert that is used for calibration, but it is not available. In my search, I found it. :-+ https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/anritsu-psn50-calxpert-software-discontinued-do-you-have-it/ |

CalXpert is for calibration only https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/anritsu-psn50-calxpert-software-discontinued-do-you-have-it/ In this topic is a link to AnritsuPSN50.zip file with software i'm talking about. |

Hi there, I took a look at the PSN50.zip exe file. If the USB device enumerates as a serial port I would say you have a good chance to get it to work. From the EXE I can see the following commands (judged by them being capital letters), and a tentative description. ABORTTRG - Abort a level triggered buffered reading AUTOAVG - Set averaging mode to auto AUTOAVGMOD - Set modulation averaging? AUTOAVGRES - Set averaging to ? AUTOAVGSNR - Set averaging to ? AUTOAVGSRC - Set averaging source? AUTORNG - Autoranging AVGCNT - ? AVGTYP - ? BUFFLEN - Set buffer length BURSTPERIOD - Set burst period? BURSTWIDTH - Set burst width? CCDFPERIOD - ? CCDFTHRESH - ? CFCAL - Set calfactort CFFREQ - Set cal factor frequency CFFREQ? - Request cal factor frequency CFTBLNUM - Set calfactor table number CHAPERT - ? CHMOD - ? CHOLD - ? CHRES - Set reading resolution? CHUNIT - Set power units, (dbm, mW, W are defined as strings in the exe)? CLEARTBL - Clear calibration table <-- careful with this one! CWDUTY - Set CW dutycycle (percent?) CWREL - Set measurement mode to relative? DATALOG - ? DELETE - ? <-- Careful with this one EAVG - Set averaging? ENHMOD - ? FIXOFF - ? FREQ - Set frequency? GATEPARAMS - ? GC - ? GENABLE - Gating enable? GETALLSETTINGS - I suppose it would return all settings =) GETOFFSET - dB offset fetch? Not sure, it should end with a questionmark if it were a request IDN? - Request identification KILL - End measurement? LAT - ? MODULATIONGROUP - ? MZ - probably a suffix when setting cal frequency? OFFTBL - Select offset table? PAGEREAD - Read a page from ? PAGEWRITE - Write a page to ? <-- Careful with this one PEPPERIOD - ? POW? - Requests a single power reading PWRALL - ? PWRMODE - ? RDBUF - Read buffered data RECALL - Preset recall? REVERSE - Measure reverse power? RSDS - ? RST - Reset sensor SAVE - Preset save? SCOPEPARAMS - ? SETOFFSET - Set attenuation? SETRNG - Set range? START - Start buffered acquisition STATUS? - Request status of buffered acquisition? STOP - Stop buffered acquisition SW_RESTORE - Factory reset? <-- careful with this one TRCCNT - ? TRGARMTYP - Set trigger arming type? TRGDLY - Set trigger delay TRGEDG - ? TRGFLEV - ? TRGFTIM - ? TRGHLDOFF - Trigger holdoff? TRGHYST - Trigger hysteresis? TRGLVL - Set trigger level TRGNOISE - ? TRGNOISEALG - ? TRGSRC - Set trigger source TRGSTLDLY - ? TRGSWLVL - ? TSLTPARAMS - ? TWKRNG - ? UPGRADE - ? <-- careful with this one VIDEOBW - Set videobandwidth ZERO - Zero sensor The demo exe seems to support the following devices: MA24104A, MA24105A, MA24106A, MA24018A, MA24118A, MA24126A, MA24240A, PSN50. Only a subset of the commands above probably works, you have to run through them. The screenshot that ua4yhz has in the other thread shows a temperature from the sensor, perhaps there is a TEMP? command that the demo exe cannot do. As a final hint, the demo exe seems to end each sent line with carriage return + newline \r\n (or maybe just newline \n), don't forget to add that when you throw commands at the sensor.

Still i need someone who can confirm or deny that is working. Even with this price it is a lot of money for me. |
