Looking for HP/Agilent 4263B LCR Adjustment Program, part number 04263-65005

[TERRA Operative]

Hi all,

I'm on the hunt for a copy of the Adjustment Program to enable calibration of the HP/Agilent 4263B LCR meter, part number 04263-65005
If anyone has this software, I'd greatly appreciate a copy! I wouldn't mind having a go at porting it to Python to allow for easier use on modern PC's...


Thanks!

Still looking for this software if anyone has a copy or can get it from somewhere.

Keysight Japan stonewalled me with a 'we don't support this instrument anymore' so no joy there.... Maybe someone here is friendly with their Keysight rep and can make the request?

    What kind of media was the adjustment program distributed on and what kind(s) of systems was it designed to run on?  If it was a tape cartridge for a HP-85 , 9825 or something similar I can guarantee you that you're wasting your time trying trying to find a usable tape.  (Long story but lots of experience with this.)

It was a BASIC program on a floppy written for the HP 9000 series 200 or 300 etc computers.

Another week gone by, still searching.

   If I were you I would start contacting some Cal labs and see if one of them might have a copy of the program.  Those and some of the LARGER defense contractors and or LARGER manufacturers are the only people that are likely to have such a specialized program IMO.

   Do you know what version of BASIC the program requires and do you have an operational HP 200/300 computer? Those have gotten very scarce in the past 15 or 20 years.

I have started contacting places but I'm sure at least some will see it as leverage to try to get me to send my unit to them....

I plan to port the program to Python so I don't care much about the actual hardware required, more the GPIB commands and workflow and any calculations done PC side.
I have already made a Python script to unlock both options, so if I can get my hands on the Adjustment Program, it'll mean we can adjust and calibrate after the unlock too.

Still looking....

I sent emails to a bunch of cal labs that made mention of the 4263 on their webpages, but of those that got back to me, some tried to sell me stuff, the others were unable to help.

So, the hunt continues.....
