HP4195A interface to PC

[ppppenguin]

I have a HP4195A network and spectrum analyser. A very fine instrument that almost bankrupted me when I bought it about 15 years ago. It was essential for my business at the time but doesn't see so much action these days. For a long time I've wanted to interface it to a PC rather than just see plots on the screen or print to an ancient printer with GPIB interface. The printr probably doesn't work any more, it's been in a box for many years.

The available interfaces are:

* LIF formatted floppy. Hard to read on a PC

* GPIB/HPIB/IEEE488 port.

The latter is a more attractive option and seems others have been there before me.

I'll need one of these:

plus the software from here:

I wonder if it would work with the GPIB to ethernet adaptor though it does cost more:

Before I commit hard cash has anyone any advice, possibly even been there before.
