Re: HP8566B Spectrum Analyser Check-Lights ON
A though I had if anyone wishes to correct me or add to this, maybe there is a problem with the 5.2V regulator attempting to run to high where the crowbar is trying to prevent this thus loading the

Re: 8341B Issues 1992 firmware
Fixing to do that ! I only paid $75 for the board and since the FW proms are ok I am almost tempted to keep it for the chips Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows

Re: HP200CD oscillator
Part of the problem was that the cathode of a selenium rectifier was marked with a + sign to signify that it was the positive output of the rectifier system.? Of course that was the cathode.? So

Re: 8341B Issues 1992 firmware
Hopefully you can return the CPU to the seller ! While you were at it, did you try the 8510/8516 using the CPU from the lab in your 8341??? Cheers! Bruce Quoting Lothar baier

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
Thanks, Matt. I think you may be right as it would explain a lot if it were just a case of component value drift over time needing correction. I may be able to squeeze in a fresh test on the 10Mhz OUT

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
Good, so it sounds like your reference is fine. I would redo the test on the 10 MHz OUT next. If you still see that harmonic, it will narrow down at least one of the problems with this unit. If not,

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
Okay, now re-done. I was having issues with a dodgy patch-lead which I've now replaced with a known good one. Attaching direct to "INT" this time, with the switch still set to "INT" I'm seeing 10Mhz

Re: 8341B Issues 1992 firmware
Yes the lab 8340B does have the new CPU board ( same part#) So I opened the lid and swapped CPU boards , my 8341B works ok with the CPU board from the 8340B except the top frequency is 26GHz , the

But then it seems to me that it has been corrected in the latest edition of the manual. However, highest esteem and admiration for HP ! - Cheers Attilio

Re: 8341B Issues 1992 firmware
Does the "lab" 8340B have the same CPU board as your "new" CPU? If not, how can putting the 92 FW on that board resolve anything? Are the PALS on the new CPU the same as the PALS on the old CPU

Re: HP200CD oscillator
If you were familiar with them, it might have been tougher to make that mistake, but I recall a lot of confusion when solid state rectifiers first came out about which way they were to go in a circuit

Re: ESG-3000A LCD replacement
I obtained a slightly newer than the ESG-3000 ESG about a year ago and the display was dark. When I got into it, the fluorescent lamp was working, but the silvering on the paper backing that reflects

Re: 8341B Issues 1992 firmware
The board goes through the regular cycle when powered up the only difference is that the frequencies the unit comes up with are screwed up ! The problem is that I don¡¯t have any evidence that the

It would be a lot harder to make that mistake with a hollow state rectifier.? ;-)

Re: ESG-3000A LCD replacement
My first question to you would be have you checked the backlighr and backlight inverter on the old LCD ? also on the replacement panel have you checked if the backlight used is the same kind ? Sent

Re: ESG-3000A LCD replacement
Hello Manfred, Good luck. The difference in the FW1 and FW is the polarity of the contrast bias.? If you put in the FW1 in the older model it will blow the transistor that supplies the contrast
