[time-nuts] Trying to setup HP 3048A Phase Noise test system.

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist]

I opted for buying the HT Basic software.  It works great,
just like you have an HP9836, etc.  I bought the recommended
NI GP-IB dongle.  I've only run the 11848/3561 combo, although
I also have an 11729 and an 8662.  Certain routines like the built
in verification test fail to run even with my setup.  You can
extract data to your PC by using an obscure Time Lab feature. 
Otherwise, you can only save the graph (as a graphical object) to your 
PC.  I currently have a hardware problem so I have stopped using
the system.  It was useful while it lasted.
