Applications

The HP 8590E and 8591C are compact spectrum analyzers used extensively in RF and microwave measurement, signal analysis, and communications testing. The 8590E is a benchtop system offering 1 Hz to 1.5 GHz frequency range, while the 8591C is a portable version designed for field and lab work. This Programming Guide serves technicians, engineers, and system integrators who need to automate measurements, integrate these analyzers into automated test systems, or control them via GPIB and other interfaces. The manual documents the command set and protocol required for remote operation and integration into larger measurement systems. These instruments became standard tools in RF test labs, service centers, and manufacturing environments throughout the 1990s and 2000s, and remain in active use for legacy system maintenance and calibration work today.
