Not quite sure to what thread this is a response. I am still desperately looking for a circuit diagram for the frequency read-out portion of the HP 8445B (I believe it is the HP 4740A Measurement System). Can you help?

hp card extenders 30 pin / 8640b

 

does anyone have 30 pin card extenders availible for a
8640b i think they can even be used to extend older 125
pin hp cards.
maybe i need 2 of them fopr some instruments
8445B preselector

 

A friend and myself recently acquired an 8445B option 03 preselector. It works great as a filter, but the frequency read-out stays at 00000, regardless of where the tuning knob on the 8555A is located. Tests indicate that the problem is more than likely in the actual DPM. Unfortunately the manual I downloaded from Logsa does not have the supplement related to the DPM. Can anyone help with either the 8445B supplement for option 03 or a manual for the HP 4740A Measurement System, which I believe is the "guts" for option 03.

Cheers,

Chris

just to add my 2 cents:
on the "bright" side, Meguro (hi end audio test equipments) also helped a lot with maintenance info of their old instruments while, on the dark side, AVO MEGGER was very quick to negate the same ("I am very sorry but unfortunately service manuals are available to our Authorised Repair Agents only" was their answer)
So, a fine megaohmmeter BM400/2 is sitting there collecting dust

This is really disappointing because I used to think very highly of
Keithley instruments. I even owned some of their picoammeters (since
sold at a ham fest).

Keithley products are quite popular in the semiconductor test market
so I can only surmise that they have experienced the usual IP thief
that a number of semi companies have and therefore are suspecious of
people wanting maintenance info. OTOH, items this old are hardly a
threat to their well-being. Makes you wonder what planet they're
from.

Keithley isn't alone however. Krohn-Hite is also real quick to blow
off people who want maintenance documents for their old gear. I have
several of their 4000-series oscillators (nice signal sources BTW)
and phone calls and e-mails met with the usual brick wall blow-off.
I did the usual end-run around this by buying the manuals off E-Bay.

Ironically I've gotten great service & support from (of all people)
Leader Instruments. I have a few audio-range test instruments and
scopes and I've gotten full maintenance manuals from them just for
the asking (e-mailed to me in pdf format). Their gear is
*very* "fixable" - no ASICs or FPGAs; all discrete topology. Not in
the range of HP/Agilent or Tektronix but fun little toys just the
same.

That manual is missing the Service Sheets (i.e. schematics), if I recall
correctly.
BAMA has a military manual that is complete, although it is for a fairly
old
serial number range.
The servie manuals are here:

Update, Free Plotter Model number

 

I was reminded that it would be a good idea to mention that the HP model number of the plotter is 7595C.

Thanks much.

FREE Plotter - Last Chance!

 

This is being sent to the CCTech, Tektronix, HP, and Test gear mailing list.

I have available, for PICKUP ONLY in Kent, Washington (about 30 miles southeast of Seattle), a nice HP DraftMaster pen plotter, a couple of packs of paper (sizes C and D), and a boxful of pens.

This needs to be MOVED! I need the space far more than I need a plotter.

If no one claims it, I will have to dispose of it as best I can, even if this means tearing it apart and recycling its guts. I know that sounds harsh, but I've seriously reached the point to where this unit has to go.

Please get back to me by E-mail ASAP. If E-mail should bounce, please call me on (253) 639-2996.

This is the LAST time I'll be offering this. I need to hear from whoever wants it in the next day or so, or it's gone.

Thanks much.

Well, I don't currently own any Keithley equipment, and based on this, I'm going
to keep it that way. Same goes for the companies I do consulting work for...

It is interesting that the larger test equipment OEMs seem to be quite enlightened about releasing manuals (and more) for old gear, and it is the 2nd and 3rd tier vendors that are concerned about their IP.

Maybe it goes to show that if you are not ashamed of what you do, you don't mind showing the world. Those that would rather not maybe have reasons to fear the scrutiny.

Certainly a good reason not to specify Keithley in my company.

I the late 1980's the company I worked for needed a new Private
Mobile Radio system.

of the relevant software at source code level. Else, no deal.
That they did.
Around a similar time, I was in a similar position, but only about
?100,000 worth.

I was partly responsible for the selection of the type of
equipment purchased. The choice was between manufacturer 'A' at
around ?7000 each or manufacturer 'B' at ?11,000 each.

After considerable negotiation we got manufacturer 'B' to supply
at ?7000 each, plus a five year warranty, plus free service
manuals and hardware updates should they become necessary or
desirable (I had dealt with that manufacturer before!). This to be
applied to all future purchases as well.

However, when the equipment started failing, we discovered that
the sales dept had neglected to inform the service dept of the
conditions of sale and that caused all sorts of problems (to
them!), I had copies of all correspondance :-)

Another company I have had service problems with, like Keithley,
was a smaller US 'scope manufacturer - when they said that they
were not prepared to provide service information, I told the sales
manager, that while that situation remained, we were not prepared
to buy their equipment, and we didn't.

Finally, as another patrt of my job, I had to provide lists of
equipment for purchase by our Ministry of Defence. To do this, I
had to frequently go to many manufacturers to update quotations
for various items. This was usually done by my secretary.

One day she brought a letter in from one of the suppliers, one
which I had not dealt with before, which was signed by the sales
director. Basically it said that I had requested several quotes
over the past few years and no order had ever resulted from them -
this was not true, but the resulting orders were not traceable
back to me.

The letter went on to say that the company policy would be not to
supply me with any more quotations unless an order would be
forthcoming.

I rang the guy and was answered by a gentleman with a terribly
upper-class voice. He was the sales director. I patiently
explained my role and said that it was not my place to query his
sales policies, but without the information I had requested, I
could no longer include his product on the contract equipment
lists that we supplied to the M.O.D.

I got my quotation and a bottle of Rum for several Christmases
after that.

The moral of the story is that not all the high cards are held by
the manufacturers. For what it's worth, I applaud the view taken
by HP/Agilent, Fluke and other companies and recommend their
products to my customers.
