Connectivity & Control
Its compact size, light weight, fast switching speed and USB,
GBIP and Ethernet control interfaces support the standard
SCPI command set ensuring smooth integration within all test
environments, particularly those associated with automated
test. An installation disk that accompanies each unit includes
all the drivers required to remotely control the device as well
as a user friendly GUI interface (right) compatible with a Win-
dows XP ®, Windows Vista® or Windows 7® or operating sys-
tem. User control is facilitated via pull down menus that allow
programming of single or swept modes in frequency or power.
Integration of multiple units within a production test environ-
ment is easy, and aordable.

HMC-T2100 Compatibility
To facilitate integration into existing HMC-T2100 applications, the HMC-T2240 has a HMC-T2100 compatibility mode.
In this mode, the HMC-T2240 identies itself as a HMC-T2100 so that the HMC-T2100 USB drivers will work for a
HMC-T2240, and programs which use the *IDN? string will recognize a HMC-T2240 as a HMC-T2100. Frequency
resolution, maximum and minimum values for power, and minimum sweep dwell time also change to match the HMC-
T2100.
