Need HP4062 Info, please

[Jerry R]

Please help.

The computer on our HP 4062A Semiconductor Parametric Tester died. Yeah, I
know, we should've upgraded it 10 years ago while it was still supported,
but nobody wanted to lay out the capital funds. I am now tasked with taking
the system components (below) and building a new PC-based system. The
components are:

HP4820B C Meter/C-V Plotter
HP4141B Stimulus/Measurement Unit
HP4084B Switch Matrix Controller (with a 4085 switch)

Now for the bad news: I don't have any of the component's documentation,
except the 4820. Searches on Agilent.com have yeilded nothing useful
(they're obsolete and they stopped supporting them years ago).

I need the HP-IB commands and data format info for the 4141 and the
4084/4085. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Keep an eye on ebay, you might find another system fairly cheap.

I used to be the 4062 engineer for one HP's (later Agilent's) internal
IC divisions. I'll see what documentation I can turn up. Right now,
all I can find is a 2.4Mb PDF version of the 4062 programming reference
- would that be useful? If so, I can email it to you.

You mentioned you tried the Agilent website - did you try Google or used
equipment vendors?
