| Maybe the software from KE5FX? I don't know the FSM is compatible with the FSE at GPIB transmission layer. This software supports series FSE, FSIQ, and the FSU. Source code is available.

| Hello and thanks for your kind answer
The KE5FX software is also working well with my FSEK, but it only does phase/noise measurements from the carrier.
My purpose is to get with it a broadband noise/gain analyser as with the EATON 2075 or the HP-8970(a or b)
So you can directly and immediately get gain/noise_figure LNA meases

| Sorry, I did not read carefully. I am working currently on measurements of phase noise and all the noise I associate with the phase.

| OK no problem
But if you know anybody having thsi FS-K3 gain/Nf measurement Software, I'll be strongly interested
Regarding your P/N meases with the KE5FX Soft : did you also make the spectrum analyser floor meases, for example at 10MHz, 100MHz or 10 GHz (with only a 50 Ohm load screwed on the S-A ? ? |

Not yet. I use the first generation FSP7 (Win NT). I tried to use the RS-232 connections to the PN software, but without results. I need to buy NI GPIB USB. For now, I'm using mechanisms built in spectrum analyzer. As for the level of their own phase noise of the spectrum analyzer, I base on R&S data.
KE5FX suggests using a cleaner source than the LO of the spectrum analyzer to determine the baseline phase noise.
After purchasing my SA also looking for K3 and K4 software. But I thought that it would be hard very to find. Now instead of K3, I use the VNA with a built-in application to the noise measurement (Anritsu MS4623B) and noise sources NSG-10GA (www.rfmicrovawe.it).

| Exaaactly ! !
The best way is to buy an NI PCI/HPIB interface (as I have + getting its thick driver - but cheaper as the USB one)and if possible, never a Prologics or similar one.
So you'll never ask yourself about new coming (and annoying computer) problems (that I hate)
I need it here with the KE5FX soft (don't know if it is the last one) and Softplot
Yes the internal spectrum Analyser has a great noise internal LO, but less important in the last TVT generations
OK for your Nf/gain measurement method - here I use the HP8970b + 26 GHz Nf test-set HP8971C (now having the 18 GHz B version to sell) + sweeper HP 8350b + adequate plugin combination (2-20 or 18-26 GHz)
But like other pepole are doing with their HP70000 multimode S-A, I also want getting the Nf/gain meas possibility on my new FSEK
Sie können mir auch ohne Problem in Deutsch antworten - aber leider nicht in Polnisch obwohl meine Mutter Polisch war ! !

| This means that you advise against buying Prologix GPIB-USB Controller 6.0 to play with KE5FX software and SA ?
It cost less then NI |

| Absolutely (but the final decision remains only to you)javascript:wst_raz(' ','tekst')
Many french people did have informatical (soft) problems with these Ersatz Cards so, the only way to minimise them is to buy directly a real good National Instruments PCI/HPIB card and install it under Windows-XP.
XP is the industry the best stable Kern that Microsoft did, and all after comings systems (Vista=berk, Win8) are for our technical needings (and installation problems) with some installation doubts
In my opinion, I'll do all that is possible to conserve Win-XP with all my present softwares and never update to a newer one |

| The question was a long time ago, but maybe you're still interested:
