Re: DIY: Repair of HP 8568B Step Attenuators - another question...
For a picture of the plastic rod with attached o-rings, lookup 5060-0342 at parts.agilent.com. I bought some back in September, but they are apparently only available to Agilent inside

Re: HP 5385A Advice
Check out Hittite for fast dividers. You may find that dividing by eight is more acceptible considering that at such high frequencies, binary dividing is much easier than any other number. You can

HP 5385A Advice
Hi Folks
Anybody have any advice on getting a decade divider to go in front of a 5385
counter so I can measure frequencies around X band. Divide by 8 is not
acceptable. Clugey is acceptable as long

Hi All,
Happy new year to everyone.
I have a 8593E that has a Local un-level issue. While checking the LODA Gate Bias using the service level procedure, the DMM reading was around -1.29V and all

Re: 3457a on the way
Mouser appears to have these batteries for $5.xx US. Actually searching around it appears a bunch of places have them. BR 2/3A. I wouldn't get one that I even slightly questioned it's freshness.

Re: Oscilloscopes - analog but with digital capability?
We introduced the 2230 world-wide in the fall of 1985, so 1986 was the big year for it. It has equivalent-time sampling for display of repetitive signals up to 100 MHz, and peak detection for

Re: Oscilloscopes - analog but with digital capability?
It was almost certainly a 2230 (100 MHz and 20 MS/sec) or 2220 (60 MHz
and 20 MS/sec) which came out in 1986 or at least first showed up in
that year's catalog.
The sample clock is not dithered but

I will pop the covers off mine again and have a look at the A1 board revision number and resistor values. Regarding battery voltage, I noticed a couple of web sites state that their

Re: 3457a on the way
Jeff,
The history of the 3457A on the way to you doesn't seem unreasonable. If
it was built in the early to mid 90's it may have been calibrated
annually until 97, and a year later when it was due

Since these are for the 8568, they would most likely be used in other units. If they have a minimum quantity, maybe a group
