I'm about to take the plunge on a new (to me) E4445A analyzer. I need to clarify a few things before proceeding this week.
1) Does this model indeed have a quasi-peak detector as standard ?
2) Is there any way to get am, fm demodulation and listen to the result ? The front panel volume control and headphone jack, which are "not implemented" in the user guide, are rather insulting on an instrument with a "typical" $117,000 price tag but I understand that this is more of an analytical instrument, measuring characteristics of those modulation types, rather than listening to them.
3) Is there any way internally or externally to get a logarithmic sweep? Acquisition time may not be a concern for this as it would be only a final plot.
4) Is an external keyboard supported? The 2012 Getting Started guide says it is not fully implemented yet.
Thanks for your help.

To answer my own questions for posterity:
1) E4445A does come standard with Quasi-peak and other detector types shown in the data sheet.
2) Standard IF is 321.4MHz so I'm using a VFO receiver to listen at this freq. to am and narrow or wide fm when necessary.
3) No control over sweep type, linear only so if one needs log, they'll have to do it externally
3) The keyboard is not accepted as input for file name entries
