The Giga-tronics Microwave Signal Generator Legacy replacement program - high performance, faster speeds, with low integration costs - with over 30 years of experience of providing signal generation solutions for the defense industry, Giga-tronics can help you design out obsolete equipment without modification of your existing code or process.
A “drop-in” replacement instrument is rare, and even partial functionality is rare. Instrument block diagrams have changed, speeds have improved, accuracy is better than ever. Do you know how many wait statements and other time based functionality that relies on specific models of instrumentation interacting with specific test processes are hard coded into their test programs? Giga-tronics has the experience to help your customers replace obsolete signal generators while keeping their existing qualified code in place.
When you choose Giga-tronics as your signal generator partner:
We will engage our legacy replacement applications Engineering Specialists and have instrument firmware Engineers available to ensure the new Giga-tronics signal generator acts like the obsolete instrument that you need to replace.

The 2500B series Microwave Signal Generators have several emulation command sets, which enable the signal generator to emulate other manufacturer’s microwave signal generators. These command sets enable the signal generator to accept and respond to programming commands as if they were an instrument from a different manufacturer. These command sets facilitate the replacement of many of the most popular signal generators, such as many Hewlett Packard signal generators, found in test systems that are still in service today. The 2500B signal generators and the emulation modes have been successfully used to replace old and obsolete test equipment.
One Giga-tronics signal generator is capable of emulating several other models of signal generators. The benefit of a single signal generator capable of replacing multiple signal generator models is that the need to maintain spares for each of the replacement models is reduced to one signal generator model whenever a unit is in need of service or calibration.
The 2500B series microwave signal generators are capable of emulating the following obsolete signal generators:

The 8003 Precision Scalar Network Analyzer has an emulation command set for the discontinued HP 8757 scalar network analyzer, which enables the 8003 to emulate the HP 8757 in automated test system applications. This command set enables the 8003 to accept and respond to programming commands as if it were an HP 8757 instrument.
