Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
A long time ago, I remember an eBay seller offering NOS HP replacement thermocouples, with calibration labels, at incredibly low starting bid prices.? I really don't think he knew what he was

Re: 8642B displays A6A1 transient failure F3 when audio peaks at FM mod input
Update I figured out a way to make the 8642B stop reporting A6 counter fault in FM mode when I go from internal to external dc. I turn on AM modulation and set it to internal then turn on FM and

Re: WANTED: HP 606B Sig Gen RF Output Attenuator Module A10
Hi Jeremy, Thanks for your suggestions. I've searched without success so far. Can't find a non-working 606B at this time. I'll keep monitoring. Hi Kim, Thank you for the offer of the unit. I'd be most

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
A local friend and I have done a lot of work on exactly that. The idea has great potential, but there are some dragons hiding. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
I’ve long thought about using one of the Linear Tech or Analog Device RF sensor ICs as a front end to an HP power sensor head with blown thermistor/diode. They have a great frequency and

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello, Short update. Just recalling I had an Arduino setup for GPIB-USB (many thanks to Emanuele Girlando!). It works using that one to do a ++read and get a response, but then I don't seem to be

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Mike almost all of the 848x series power sensor heads use a thermocouple and not a diode. The replacement thermocouples were at one time available? directly from HP/Agilent. They were crazy

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
I've been following this discussion about diode power sensors. I assume the diode sensors fail because of blown diodes form overload. Has any repaired the faulty sensors by replacing diodes? Mike

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello, Thanks for the suggestions. I tried to figure out how to do low-level communication, but don't seem to find any way.? I hope I'm just missing something trivial here. If anyone has an example

Re: Measuring Phase with Agilent E5062A ENA
So I tried a quick test on my test cable and when put in the smith chart mode it functions in a similar manner to a Cartesian phase plot where the data is displayed from -180 degrees to +180 degrees,

And if you're into Linux, there is a GPIB driver package available with bindings for python and perl. It's at https://linux-gpib.sourceforge.io/ and supports USB adapters as well as older

Re: Measuring Phase with Agilent E5062A ENA
Hi Dave. The machine does actually have quite a bit of capability and I find it vastly superior to the older HP VNA's I have had in the past.? The problem is it is so poorly documented or not

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Tobias Interesting project. I am surprised that you had trouble finding 848X schematics. They are in every service manual from the 1980's? ( and we of course have them available for modest purchase
