Re: 8341B Issues 1992 firmware
Well i looked at the manual backdating and the only 2 boards that change between 2804 and 2812 Are the CPU board and the sweep board no mention of changes to the motherboard or other boards . I

Re: 8341B Issues 1992 firmware
Couple of things to think about: 1) Is the motherboard the same between the 2804 and 2812 ? 2) What about the PALs on the CPU board 3) Also check that the CAL constand definitions are the same between

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
Jinxie, There are 2 external BNC F connectors that give you access to a 10 MHz signal. One of them is directly at the output of the reference oscillator while the other is a divided output of the

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
One solution to consider is a 10 MHz source for all your instruments - Leo Bodnar makes a good one for about $90. That way all your instruments see the same reference and will report the same

@Bruce It's so frustrating only having a short time every day to look into this problem. I only get enough time to perform a one or two quick checks each time at best. Now it's very late here again

Re: Spectrum analyser in a high traffic strong signal environment
Diode limiters do create IM products and the same also applies to YIG filters which also act as limiters if a certain power is exceeded ! It however doesn¡¯t matter much in a practical sense as the

I don't think so.? Seems like that would defeat the purpose.? Of course, linearity is an illusion after all, so some intermodulation is inevitable.JimSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

Re: Low EMI lighting for labs and work areas
I'd vote with the "run 'em on clean DC" crowd, for lowest added interference. The key word though, is "added" - we're already awash in EMC interference from almost all electronic equipment around, so

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
A few thoughts: 1. Are you checking the INT connector or the 10 MHz out? The INT connector is directly at the output of the oscillator. I'd see what that gives you. If that looks good and the 10 MHz

Should be a clean sine wave. I would replace this oscillator with one that has a sinusoidal output. There are two many zero crossings and this signal will probably get ¡°squared up ¡° into a square
