Re: Question about cables and probes for hp 16715a.
I said:
...The 90-pin probing system used on more recent cards is NOT lossy with Z approx. 93 ohms.
To be clear, what I mean is the tiny ribbon coax used in the 90-pin system has a characteristic

I appreciate that you want to make your own pod ends, and would encourage you. They can be difficult to find in sufficient quantity or at a reasonable price. I can see single sets of these - without

Re: Question about cables and probes for hp 16715a.
The only place lossy cable is present is in the 4.5-foot coax ribbon cable going from the chassis to the pods. ?Earlier versions of this cable are woven, but they are still lossy. ?Its purpose is to

Re: Question about cables and probes for hp 16715a.
I seem to remember that the cable is nichrome, and about 200 ohms.
IIRC about a 10K input impedance at the analyzer, and a 100K at the probe tip.? From what I remember, there's about a 7pf capacitor

Re: HP 141T Power Supply Help Needed
Finished that up. On the -100 I can adjust up to 96v, a little low but it
is adjustable so I think I should come back to that later.
On 248v I'm currently seeing 290v, and -12v I'm seeing -1.5v.

Well, this is awkward. I had replaced both Diff Amp transistors with the
same part number.
I just found that this package is actually reverse from what i removed!

Hello guys
Yesterday I realized something else.
I forgot to tell you that despite having had this unit for three years, I realized the other day that option 002 (amplitude measurement) is installed.

Re: Question about cables and probes for hp 16715a.
I believe the cable from 40-pin connector to tip moulding is actually twisted pair rather than coax. It certainly was in the burnt one I took apart. The tip moulding contained a ceramic hybrid circuit

Looks OK. If scaled to -100V it covers -17.8V to -24.9V crossing through expected -20V. This says with -80V should give at least -80*0.178/1.007=-14V but measurement is -7.7V.

Re: HP 141T Power Supply Help Needed
Measuring the input capacitors, they are generally very low (0.001-0.03v)
and well within what is shown on the schematic. Measuring the outputs,
they all show 0v AC.
The -1v test is a little

If output is ~ -80V, ?resistive divider around trimpot (R34/R11C/R38/R39) can only divide down to -12V even in CW position or so, it can't produce -7V.
One possibility is these voltages have a large

I'd be looking at the -100V rail.? The 100V rail is independent of the others and is the reference for the -100V rail.? -12.6V and 248V use -100V as a reference.? If you're at -82V for the -100V,
