Re: HP-IB to PC Printer for 54501 Scope?
Try the 7470.exe application at .
If it works, I'd appreciate a heads-up so I can add the 54501A to the list
of supported instruments.

Dave, Thanks for looking that info up. This transformer is probably from something else. Some extra info that might help identify it is that the terminals come out of the transformer case in five round "bulkheads" lettered "A" to "E". The "A" group has four terminals which I think are a pair of input windings (for 120 or 240, I guess). The next three groups are all five terminals each and the last group is just two terminals. Each grouping is numbered sequentially from 1. I've looked at several different HP scope manuals on the BAMA web site and cannot find this number but nor can I find any schematics that use a letter-number terminal identification scheme.

Forwarded from a Hong Kong acquaintance who just got

more details about the alleged fraud, or how?the payment was made, but

Hi John
?
Just thought you might get a laugh
from hearing that I recently paid USD 6200 to a guy in Quebec
Canada for 3
planks of wood which were supposed to be an Agilent E4432B Signal generator. It
was eBay ¡°bait¡± I should have walked away from.
?
He actually shipped the goods before
payment, thinking that would make me feel more comfortable. The shipping time
would allow him to collect his money and disappear. Well it worked, he got the
money and I got three expensive planks of wood!
?
Pass this around to your friends. If
anyone comes across a guy named Konstantinos Tabiris, watch out. His
email for what
its worth is hns0909@....
?
Now I have to find a more
¡°legitimate¡± seller and in the mean time, hope to recover my money
somehow¡..

Cheers

Re: HP 10511A Spectrum Generator
From the 1968 catalog-
Input 25-50 MHz(10-75 useful) with 1-3 volts ex 50 ohm source
Output 50 ohms nominal and -19 dBm minimum for any harmonic number between 1 and 10
Which doesn't quite stack up with the quoted output frequency range as 50-500 Mhz but I guess it's near enough!
Intended as an accessory for the 5100A.

Interesting point.? I?just checked my service
manuals, and it appears that there is indeed an?attenuator-correction ROM
in the 8566B.? The HP?guys didn't cut any corners on this piece of
gear!??It?is a separate part installed on A12, the front-panel

The zipfile I posted contains only the main

images aren't serialized or otherwise tied to the specific instrument they came
from.

Re: HP8601A Generator/Sweeper
Hello!
Talking about HP8601As.... I have a couple of them (50 Ohm versions; be sure the one you find is not a 75 Ohm version!) but, unfortunately, one has a bad output power amplifier. I wonder if somebody has a parts unit which could act as a donnor of that part.
Thanks!

I run a good-sized FTP archive that currently contains, among other things,
EPROM (firmware) images for Tektronix test gear that they no longer make or
support. This is done to provide a repository of image files that one can
use to make a new EPROM if one should fail (yes, they do fail on occasion).
By sending me an archive with 8566B EPROM images in it, John Miles has made
it clear that doing the same for HP stuff would probably be a good idea. So
be it! I welcome contributions for the archive subject to the following
conditions.
(1) Any firmware or software sent should be for equipment that HP/Agilent
no longer manufactures or supports.
(2) If what you're sending is related to current equipment, it must be
publicly available for download from HP/Agilent as well. In other words,
HP/Agilent needs to have given permission, in some way, for its release.
(3) Submissions should be compressed with ZIP or a similar scheme. Files
with .exe extensions will be rejected by my firewall, so choose carefully.
;-) Send submissions to kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech dot com.
(4) My spam filters have been known to be overzealous. If you try to send
me something, and it bounces, try sending me a note (WITHOUT the file
attachment) to kc7gr at qsl dot net (my backup address). Include the bounce
notice, and I will see what I can do about punching a hole in the filters so
you'll be able to get through.
For downloading, the host is ftp.bluefeathertech.com. Log on as 'anonymous'
(minus the quotes), and send your E-mail addy as your password. The path is
/pub/electronics/testgear, and you will see subdirectories below that.
Please keep in mind the following limitations.
(1) Download speed for anonymous logins is capped at 128K, and there's a
limit of five simultaneous logins permitted. This is done to make the most
of a limited bandwidth pipe (my DSL line). If you're not able to get in at
any one time, please try again later.
(2) Certain ISPs and IP ranges may be blocked from accessing the archive at
all, due to ongoing spam and virus transmissions. If you find you cannot
access the archive, drop me a note with details of what you're looking for.
If I have it, I'll send it along.
Thanks much.

Re: HP8601A Generator/Sweeper
Hello again Andi, Good choice. Though if that's all you intend to do, then a marker gen might be superfluous. It's of more use when you need to set up a pass-band across a fairly wide frequency range, such as aligning a TV IF strip (who does that these days) or in certain high-end radio receivers where a broader intermediate stage passband is required. I have a Racal RA17 receiver with such a stage, and the marker gen made quite a difference. Basically, the marker inserts "blips" on the screen trace at frequencies you select. The 8600 has 5 markers, all of which can be set using the digital frequency read-out. so you can assess very quickly how the passband's shape is coming up. So, I'd recommend the 8601 for a start - see how you like it, and then look our for a marker gen if yiu think you need it. In Australia, good 8601's are still commanding high prices - typically in the range AUD200 to 500 (USD150 to 350). Good luck. Rob --- "Ahlbrecht, Andreas" <ahlbra@...> wrote: Hello Rob,
thanks for the quick answer!
I want to use the 8601 for alignment of broadcast
type radios.
However, I must admit that I, in theory, know how to
to just
that but am still not relly clear about what a
marker generator
exaclty is and how it works. I know that it can be
set up, for
example, to see exactly where the center frequency
is located
in the filter response curve on the 'scope, but
there it ends.
Can you or anyone else advise or point me to some
resource on
the net where this is explained? (Did a quick google
search
but wasn't successful.)
(You see, I'm an eager-to-learn hobbyist - not a

Hi there,
I've had an HP8601A for about 5 years. It worked
perfectly when I got it, and it still does. It's a
very nice instrument, and very useful for all manner
of things, particularly filter alignment. It's also
nice to set it up to measure the frequency response
of
your 'scope (up to 110 MHz). to get best use of the
8601, you should try and get its matching marker
generator - the HP8600. Makes testing a pleasure.

Re: HP 3505 Microwave Switch
Hi Lennart:
My guess is that it's a PIN diode switch. Get out your DMM and set it to the "diode" function and try all possible paths (both directions) between the case, input center pin and output center pin to see where the diode(s) are located. The most probable configuration is a couple of PIN diodes with their cathodes grounded and the anodes connected to both center pins. Applying a positive current (not a voltage) to the center pin on either side using a bias-T will turn on the diodes and give you some isolation y reflecting the power.
Have Fun,
