Dave,
Can you tell us more? These things show up frequently around here and no one knows
anything about them or how to use them. I think the local military contractors use them in
testing mechanical assemblies for resonant frequencies but that's just a guess.

Jay- you're on track.
Simplistically- it's a low frequency spectrum analyser (FFT type)- coverage
zero to 25 kHz and dynamic range of 80 dB(or thereabouts)
But it's really a lot more than that as it's a two channel instrument and
can do all sorts of other stuff as well.
If you really don't want it I imagine you won't have too much of a problem
selling it. Sort of thing I would have given my eye teeth for a while back.
Now-- all the eye teeth have fallen out!!!

Subject: HP 5423A analyzer
I just receive an HP 5423A Structural Dynamics
Analyzer. I have no
interest
in it, but being curious, what the heck is it
used for?? From googling I
get
the impression it does fourier modal testing?
