System Software
Agilent 85161B measurement automation
software
Description: This software is designed specifically to
operate on an HP 9000 Series 200 or 300 computer for
automation of the 8510 system including millimeter-wave
systems. The software complements the hardware, provid-
ing calibration, measurement, and data output capabilities
with a minimum of operator interaction. Measurement
data can be stored in binary format or in a data file compat-
ible with many CAE design programs.
Operating requirements
Compatible with an HP 9000 Series 200 or 300 computer
with the following:
BASIC Operating System (5.0 or higher)
RAM memory (including BASIC): 2 Mbytes, or a PC
running Basic for Windows revision 6.3 or higher under
Windows (3.1/95/NT)
Agilent 85071B materials measurement
software
Description: The 85071B software takes broad-band S-
parameter measurements of dielectric and magnetic mate-
rials and determines their electromagnetic properties. The
software calculates both the complex permittivity
ε
r
(or
dielectric constant) and permeability µ
r
, including their
loss factors. Depending on the network analyzer and fix-
tures used, measurements can extend from 100 MHz
to 110 GHz. The software offers the choice of four
algorithms, each designed to address specific
measurement needs.
Operating requirements
Standard: Requires MS-DOS on an HP Vectra (or any
100%-compatible PC-AT computer) compatible with
Microsoft
® Windows 2.11 with mouse. Requires >20
Mbyte hard disk and >640 Kbytes RAM.
Option 300: Substitutes BASIC software for the
standard version for operation with the 9000 Series 300
controllers. Requires BASIC 5.0 or higher and 2 Mbytes
of RAM.

Agilent 85070B dielectric probe kit
The 85070B dielectric probe kit allows convenient non-
destructive testing of materials using the open-ended coax-
ial probe method. The probe, together with its own
dedicated software, determines the complex permittivity
of a wide variety of liquids, semi-solids, and solids. Since
the probe kit measures only permittivity, only non-
magnetic materials should be measured. Measurements
are efficient and cost-effective because the testing is
non-destructive and there is no need for sample
preparation or special fixtures. Refer to the 85070B data
sheet for more information.
