For example, GPIB is usually an option, and not standard. We were once very suprised when we couldn't find the GPIB port on a brand new unit. For real work, like power amp testing, you want a Rohde and Schwartz, as the dynamic range is way beyond anything Agilent makes. But be prepared to pay $60K. Rob.
