Mixing PCS500 and PCGU1000 on same PC

Hello all.

I have a PCS500 and was going to purchase a K8016 to work alongside it. However, the newer USB based PCGU1000 has a 2Mhz capability and is almost the same price. My question is, will the two co exist ? PC lab 200 se looks as though it will allow both USB and parallel port instruments to work together? I want to be sure before making a purchase! I am interested in the bode plot capability especially.

Thank you in advance for any answers.

Yes, the PCS500 and PCG1000 work together on same PC. You can run the Bode plot using these instruments.
Please note, the Bode plot frequency range is up to 1MHz also with the PCGU1000.

As a sweep generator the PCGU100 can sweep up to 25MHz.
Using the PCS500 as a FFT spectrum analyzer and selecting the FFT Option “Maximum” you can do wide frequency response plots.
