Re: HP 85662A Power supply issue help needed
Hi Guerrino, Congratulations for your finding! I had a similar problem in my HP-8672A. I bought it as 'unworking' at eBay... and, yes, it didn't work ;-). It is a very complex unit and I was afraid of

HP 204B Modifications.
I have three 204B oscillators I'm restoring. One had a problem where C2 (the 3 section, 1% capacitor) had a shorted section. I replaced the shorted section with single 1%, .3uF. Close enough for the

Re: Are plotters still useful?
I've done the PIC version some years ago for an HP analog spectrum analyzer with X, Y and Pen Lift outputs. Worked reasonably well. The algorithm holds a do nothing loop waiting for the pen lift

Re: Are plotters still useful?
It is still useful information! Thanks to all. I have a Velleman two channel digital scope that runs on the USB on a computer. It will do X-Y and I may try that for the units that have analog outputs.

Hello, I have an HP3468A that appears to have a bad control ROM. The unit just cycles between power up (lights up all elements on the display and a brief display of: OV.LD C:3111 and repeat. The

Re: 8558B centre frequency wildly unstable above 1250MHz
I have a customised nozzle for my aerosol can of contact fluid. I still have the supplied 10cm length of tube but have fitted a hypodermic needle to the end. This allows me to get a little fluid into

Re: Question about Service Manual Copyrights
Most units did not come with complete service manuals. They had to be purchased separately. I believe HP has made all their old manuals public domain. Actually I believe they have been requesting any

Re: Question about Service Manual Copyrights
Agilent controls all copying and distribution of their manuals. They will license you if you contact them through the proper channels with certain stipulations as to what you can and can not

Question about Service Manual Copyrights
A simple question to anyone who may know: what are the legalities of copying HP service manuals? Some of them seem to be in the public domain, since they are offered on the HP information web site.

Re: Are plotters still useful?
I use a HP plotter to draw pcb layouts. I made an adapter from an old pen to hold a CD marker. It plots straight at the PCB and after plotting it is going in the stuff that solves the copper. I made a

Re: Are plotters still useful?
If the 4815A has the ability to dump the plotter sequence (HPGL) into a file you can create an image from that, or feed it to the Agilent Screen capture program to create the image for you. ? Look

For instruments that use an HPIB plotter, a Prologix USB-HPIB adapter and John Miles' 7470 program. Once the plot is in your computer you can then print it on any printer your computer works with, or

Congratulations Dick! It might be helpful to the rest of us to know the details of how you injected the cleaner. Did you drill a hole into the case? Or??? Cheers! Greg

What do you use to record outputs from HP test equipment? I have two plotters (7045B single & 7046B dual pen) but I simply use my camera to photograph the screen. The thought of ink and paper is a
