The 1818-3499 is a HP part number.
It also crosses to X2864A manufacture code 10572.

Re: Looking for Agilent PNA old FW repo?

 

There may have been "snapshots" taken at several times. Be sure to check any snapshots covering the time when you think the SW was listed. Also, if it was on HP FTP site you might look to see if wayback covered that anytime.

Cheers!

The wayback machine saved the page (same one I linked), but the actual firmware files are not saved on the wayback machine from what I can tell.

Re: Suffering from RIFA anxiety!

 

I reached out to Schaffner directly and they said the following:

Our capacitor ratings X1, X2, Y1 or Y2, depending on the filter, and
should fail open. We use ceramic and Metalized Polypropylene Film caps
in our filters.

So, good news, new Schaffner filters should be free from metallized
paper failures.

Those are part numbers and date codes. The numbers ave nothing to do with the programming.

Yes I cleaned the contact points with alcohol and q tip, for the female receptacle part I used a acid brush and alcohol.
Well guess what, it worked good, put the cover back on and my friendly fail code 1310 appears again. How aggravating. It indicates eeprom u21. I got the part number off the IC PMI 8639 1826-1048. I'm not sure how to read the chip I see a lot of chip with 1826-1048 but not the first number 8639. Can someone enlighten me on this.
Thanks

Re: 8341B vs 8673B

 

Matt -
AFIK, the source modules are not connected to the 8430 in the same way they are connected to the 8350 (and also, I believe to the 8673).

I'm just starting to play with the source modules (HP series) and will let you know. I believe I will need to use the 8510 multiplier technique.

Cheers!

Something I've missed also. Where in the menus do you find the

source modules.
I believe it's under System -> More -> EDIT MULT. SRC.

Take a look at Controlling Multiple Sources in the 8510C operating
manual. Forward a few pages there's a section entitled "SOURCE 1 Formula
Use". This allows you to apply offsets and multiplications to a source.

If you have the official HP/Agilent mm source modules, these should have
a bus that does this for you; i.e., you don't need to mess with these
menus.

If you don't have the official modules, then this would indeed be the
approach.

Sure - I just never thought about it that way - I was thinking that the 8340 would be where the configuration was done.

No problem

I should clarify this statement as it's somewhat poorly phrased. The
8510C doesn't apply frequency offsets or multiply your RF source
signal. It simply tells the RF source to generate a frequency that is
some combination of offset and multiple or submultiple of the displayed
frequency for a given sweep point. Probably obvious, but worth
clarifying. This is all explained in the manual.

Yes, the RIFA caps in question are Y and X caps. ?You are not supposed to replace them with some random cap!?

You set the 8340B with x4 multiplier and the multiplier out using an

Using the 8340B multiplier feature the 8510 ask for let me say sweep from
26 to 52 GHz and the 8340 perform in accordance so set the correct sweep 4
times lower .
Even using 8340B stand alone the reading is the multiplied frequency.
I use the same approach connecting the Gigatronics scalar analyzer .
If i have to go lower than 26 GHz i connect direct the 8340B to the 8515
without the multiplier or multiplier x1.
thats all.
That's a cool capability I wasn't aware of. Thanks for pointing that out
Gianni. It would be nice if the 8510 could control a switch driver
controlling a pair of switches too. That way, you could get the full 10
MHz to 52 GHz in one sweep. That would be useful for things like time
domain low pass mode. I didn't see anything about that in the manual
though.

Hi Gianni,

Can you elaborate on this 8510C setup a bit more? The 8340 through the
x4 Marki goes to an 8517? Does the 8510C software handle this fine? Do
you just restrict the 8510 frequency range to the quadrupler input range
and then just adjust the display readings in your head? Or, does the
setup work a little differently?

Thanks
Matt

Hi all,

Does anyone have a copy of the Agilent/KS PNA legacy firmware files? This page was up until very recently, and of course now I am working on an old unit that needs fw:



If anyone has these saved somewhere please let me know. I can host them on my website (neonkev.com) for folks in need in the future as well.

Thank you!
Re: PNA (E835XA) Hard drive issue

 

Hi Julien,

Would you be able to share an image of the 266MHz drive with windows 2000 if possible? I am trying to resuscitate an unbootable 266 MHz unit which I know has an OS problem.

Thank you,
