Lots of people ask dumb questions. To improves your chances of getting a positive response, it is suggested that you prove most or all of the following information.
- The type of instrument - VNA, oscilloscope, power supply etc.
- The exact model number of the instrument. An 8753 is not useful, as there are at least half a dozen different models in the 8753 series.
- A useful subject header, which will usually need to contain a model number of an instrument. Please, no useless titles like "HELP: My oscilloscope does not work". Be more specific in the subject header, mentioning at least the model, and type of fault.
- Any relevant accessories attached.
- Firmware version, it the problem could conceivably be firmware related.
- First half a dozen digits of the serial number
- Any options fitted.
- A clear description of the problem, along with any what actions you have taken to try to solve it.
Although the document is aimed at open-source software, many of the suggestions are relevant for seeking help on hardware.?
