The HP 53131A/132A include additional measurement functions and
features that are designed specifically for manufacturing and service
applications:
• 1, 5, 10 MHz external reference capability—to match customer’s house
standard (however, the HP 53132A’s external reference capability is
10 MHz only),
• optional ultra high, high, or medium stability oven oscillators for high
accuracy needs and lengthened calibration cycles,
• external gating,
• statistics,
• automatic limit testing,
• SCPI programming capability, and
• analog display mode limit testing
Programmable control is performed via an HP-IB. The HP-IB and a
talk-only RS-232C serial port are standard for the HP 53131A and
HP 53132A. The serial port is for printing measured and analyzed data on
serial printers, or for outputting an out-of-limit signal.
