Hello
I wonder if anyone has had success using Intuilink / Excel with a none HP usb_gpib adapter.
I have comms with my instruments using the test application that came with the lead but now need to be a bit more adventurous.
I'd be grateful for pointers from anyone who has been down this track before.
TIA
Regards Paul

Pat,
A good place to start is the agilent website. They have made available 100s of manuals for obsolete equipment. The 54110D manual is available at:
This service manual does not contain schematic, but it does contain some detailed troubleshooting information.
The schematics are available from:
www.artekmedia.com
You need to get:
54110D $25.00 (3 Vol. Set, Oper., Pgmr., FRU service, Ext Service)
Even with this there may not be any schematics for the monitor assembly. I have a 54111D and I believe that the monitor assembly was purchased as a component.
I hope that this helps.
Regards,
John Barnes VE3XRY

Hi,

I can probably help with the 8621 and some modules in .pdf, but
not until the weekend at the earliest I am afraid. I am in the
process of sorting the computer room/shack and I will have to
search for the CD.
Hi Geoff, I have a 8621B plugin that does not work. So I'd like to find that manual. Not urgent - but would be nice to have. Also have plugin without manuals: **HP86220A 10 - 1300 MHz HP86241A 3,2 - 6,5 GHz** and these modules for the 8621: **HP86320A 0,1 - 2 GHz HP86330A 1,8 - 4.2 GHz HP86331A 1,7 - 4,3 GHz HP86342A 5,9 - 9,0 GHz HP86350A 8 - 12,4 GHz If you could find anything it would be very nice. vy 73, Rainer ** -- VHF/UHF/SHF Online Toplist: DF6NA Homepage: Amateurfunk-Flohmarkt: VHF-DX.net:

you can measure scope input capacitance using a capacitance meter or bridge
just remember to take the capacitance of your test leads or coax into account.
i normally just measure the capacitance with the test coax disconnected and then with it hooked up
the 1m ohm resistor shouldnt change the reading significantly.
thats what the 130 lc meter was designed for .
ive seen them used as general purpose measuring devices too.
as you know the compensator will act as a 2x attenuator when driven from a low impedance source.
you should terminate the pulse generator before the coax enters the compensator "i think"

maybe you can find some cheap chinese 10x probes that wili compensate to a 50 pf input
maybe deane kidd has some older tek probes that have that much range
you might be able to build a simple 10 x probe that would be good up to 5 or 10 mhz
"heathkit sold probe kits for their early scopes like that"

Greetings,
My thanks to all for the very instructive replies. At the moment SC501's are my immediate concern. I wonder if it might be reasonable to just use 47pf mica cap as the SC501 adjustment instructions call for 47pf with 1 megohm. Surface mount parts would be neat.
I will build another with the trimmer for my other scopes. I have some Le Croy 9400's that have such a high input capacity(50pf) that none of my newer probes work with them. Newer probes like the lecroy PP001 and PP002 cause a display with severe leading edge roll-off.

Traitors. Thats what gets my goat, companies or individuals that sabotage, they should be treated as commercial and environment traitors and they should face prospect of jail ! This is not a new thing. In the 1970s, Data General introduced a Nova 2 mini with a potted power fail module that PURPOSELY caused random memory failures if you did not use DG memory, then spread rumors that second
source memory was no good. I eventually unpotted one of the modules.
They CLEARLY engineered it in. There was no other POSSIBLE use for the
circuit.

I am certain that a 47pF Silver Mica capacitor would do, I think
that the effort of making a surface mount version would be
overkill, just string the components across a BNC male/female pair
in a small screened box and that will do.
These boxes were available in a wide range of capacitances and
were used to 'standardize' the input capacitance to enable probes
to be switched between 'scopes (of the same input capacitance).
Geoff
Tek just uses an off the shelf ITT Pomona cast box, roughly 1" x 1" x
2", with M and F chassis mount BNCs on the ends and wired the R & C
from center conductor to center conductor. Trivial.
