I just purchased an 8591EM spectrum/EMI analyzer and it didn't come with the 08590-10027 ROM card that supposedly has the limits, correction factors, and setups for EMI testing.

Does anyone have any idea where I can obtain one of these ROM cards, or can they be copied onto one of the RAM card if I can find someone who has one? Also, is there another HP number that this card goes by other than 08590-10027 that I might search for?

Thanks!

Also, can anyone tell me what exactly is on this ROM card? Is it just pre-programmed limit lines for different standards? Can I just enter these manually, or store them on a RAM card and have the unit fully functional without the ROM card, or does the ROM card have features that I will need for EMI testing or features the analyzer needs to function?

Also, since these cards seem to be made of unobtainium and HP no longer supports the product, would anyone who has one of these cards be kind enough to send me the parameters and configuration data that are on the card so I can program a RAM card of my own?

Thanks!

The contents of the 08590-10027 card is listed in Appendix B of the User's Guide for the instrument (see attached).

It's basically just a number of limit lines and default correction factors, along with a few example test setups that can be loaded. There is no program code or tests of any sort on it. It's not required for doing any tests or for any instrument functionality, but it does make it a lot easier to load limit lines for many of the common EMC standards (which may or may not be current any more).

Thank you so much, Mike, I appreciate it!

Now, if I can just find a good deal on a used HP 11966P or other brand biconilog antenna, I'll be all set!
