开云体育Hi Harvey? Regarding ? There's a philosophical point where you say: 1) these might be bad, I'll replace then all. 2) I'll only replace the ones that I know are bad. ? I agree with line 1 in this case? but ?if they all test with correct capacitance and low ESR then it might be worth looking else ware before changing them It could be that only one capacitor is critical and it wasn’t man enough for the job in the first place Just a thought? ?

There's a philosophical point where you say: 1) these might be bad, I'll replace then all. 2) I'll only replace the ones that I know are bad.

Re: I'm old 70+, the 70K system is old; good or bad omen?
Gene,
The cabling looks correct between the modules according to the document I have in front of me. If all the other modules are showing up in the map the 70900A should be there to. The issue seems to be improper dip switch settings or some other unknown fault with the 70900A. I have attached the file for your reference. Best Regards, Craig Petersen. |

Re: I'm old 70+, the 70K system is old; good or bad omen?
开云体育Craig. ? ? First off big thanks for your input… ? Agreed that verifying system configuration needs looking into. The read cabling looks Ok I believe. ? Confidence test has passed…OK? What I see on the A-Map is the following for 70205A is Row/Column 0,0 For 70902A/18,1 and 70905A/4,18
? As stated, there is no entry for the 70900A anywhere within the A-Map, which I believe points to a couple of questions/possibilities.

The 70900A should show up in row 0 column 18, and if the HPIB functionality is enabled for this module it will also show up on HPIB address 18. The RF section should show up in row 6 column 18, (70904A in my instrument) the IF section (70902A) should be in row 1 column 18, the display should be in row 0 column 4. If there are no power supply issues (because I notice the "volt/temp" LED is not illuminated) I would also recommend pulling all the modules out and setting them to their default positions Where are defaults found? and making sure you have all the necessary SMB and semi-rigid cables routed correctly. CHECKED Even with dead batteries the unit will still function, but will complain about the confidence test TEST PASSED OK ? and the 70900A will not keep calibration coefficients after a power cycle.?? |
