Its the same feeling working with old test equipment. They have these massive Centronics-style GPIB ports that you can either connect to a converter or an Ethernet adapter. The great part is that the commands from an old unit almost always work on a brand new unit with similar features. I had to use an old spectrum analyzer from the time before floppy diskette drives were common and moved up to a brand new one that ran Windows 10. I could directly connect to the Ethernet port and send the exact same commands to get my measurements.
