I have a E8362B PNA (1.1GHz system, 07.50.67 firmware) that developed a problem recently. When starting the Network Analyzer application, the initialization screen appears for a long time and I get an error box - 'Front Panel has experienced a problem and needs to close.' If I choose 'Don't Send', the application will eventually startup, but I get a network analyzer error box - 'Unable to connect to the AG82350 chip. GPIB control disabled. Error code -3.' The application will then function normally (because I'm not using GPIB for anything.)
The error code sounds like it may be a hardware issue, but I have multiple hard drives for this PNA, and none of the other installations is experiencing this issue. I uninstalled the network analyzer application and reinstalled the latest version (07.50.67), but the problem did not change. Any idea where I should look to determine what is interfering with the GPIB chip?

That model is not a 20 Ghz unit?

I think that means the issue is in your HD installation use one of the good ones then.
