Re: HP 8350B sweeper behavior
If finding reasonable wet Ta caps is difficult or outrageous, you can do some experiments with Al types, with proper selection and testing, and acceptance of good but not necessarily perfect original

How do I update HP 3488A manuals in the Wiki?
I bought a HP 3488A Switch/Control unit. Our Wiki has a 3499 manual with the 3488 manuals, and I have seen better versions of the manuals. Since I own a unit I thought I¡¯d take ownership of the

Re: HP 16500C looking for logic analyser boards that are functional
I have two things. The users reference and the programmers guide. From what I can glean in the users reference it should pop up some sort of programing interface via telnet. From the user guide, "?

Re: HP 16500C looking for logic analyser boards that are functional
I think the 16700 and possibly the 16600, which run HPUX on a PA-RISC processor have a telnet client but not the 16500. It does have some open ports but they don't respond to what i've tried (SCPI

Re: HP 3400A Upgrade PCBs Available
Which is an LT1012 - I was very surprised to see that they used such a precision amp on purpose - the precision is not needed there other than to possibly not have a negative output; even in the 3400B

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behavior
Just from your description I knew it's a wet-slug Ta type. These were used in certain spots where fairly high capacitance is needed, with low leakage. When it opened up, there went the CW filter

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behavior
Those are very very special caps. They are made to insure that the equipment fails after a number of years. The acid that leaks out will dissolve PC traces. Make sure you clean any residue off. I use

Re: HP 3400A Upgrade PCBs Available
Thanks to both Hal & David for info. The 03400-60013 manual covers 03400-66512 Rev A (prefix 2225) & Rev C (prefix 2415). As has been suggested elsewhere, it's most possible the Rev D was only covered

Re: HP3400A Nonlinearities
The custom scale compensates for nonlinearity in the meter movement itself, not the instrument the meter is installed in. Dave Wise ________________________________ Sent: Monday, November 20, 2023

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behavior
Hi all, I can hardly believe what I saw when I took out the A6-board. A capacitor with only one leg... what the heck is so special about this one that its so different to all the others - and leaking,
