Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
I've be watching this chain with someinterest. The thing that occurs to me is why are we all helping him go down the rabbit hole? I've owned or worked on something like 25 8566 A and B instruments,

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
Dave, Adding ferrite beads to the ground lead itself will probably make things worse. However, threading the entire probe cable several times through a large ferrite can often help reduce noise due to

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
Many thanks, guys. Seems like the consensus is to look into the ground issues. It's getting very late in my part of the world right now so I shall retire and take a fresh look at these things Tuesday

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
First, make sure that you don¡¯t have any ground loops. I suggest you to power the 8566 and your scope from the same outlet. Best, Francesco K5URG Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2022 4:00 PM To:

I'm looking at the schematic for the HP 3048A option K23 DC blocking filter. I've attached a simplified version of this schematic for convenience. Note that I've omitted the circuitry related to

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
If the spikes are at line frequency, then I'd suggest turning off LED or Fluorescent lamps and see if it makes a difference. You could always remove the ground wire, and use the probe as a sniffer to

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
You could try slipping a few ferrite beads on the probe's ground lead. I'm not sure that'd help, but it might; does anyone else have any thoughts on that? -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington,

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
Okay, that's all understood now and thanks for the clarification, guys. In order to properly eliminate the possibility of these spikes being a red herring I'm going to have to get creative with the

I am now editing those files inside of the 7470 emulator. I have also been able query the VNA at Address 16 for them using this toolkit. Looks like I can choose from a great many formats besides .bmp

Re: HP-8753E Reading HPGL Files
John's 7470 program will render an HPGL file which you can capture as a .BMP file and then tweak in your computer such as to add a box border.

Re: HP Masked Microcontroller Question
It seems pretty reasonable to me, the 1820-2131 seems to be the main processor running two pretty similar counters that where likely designed at the same time, the one big difference being the 5316
