Re: HP8640B Range Switch
Hi Graham, One of my 8640 gen fx readout started showing all zeros.? Have not trouble shot yet but can use aux output into a counter for readout.? Your problem made me want to take a look at it.?

HP8640B Range Switch
Hi All Does anybody know which fingers on the two range switch sections go to which dividers in the time base section.? My counter appears to work from 0.5MHz to 16MHz and then produces silly results

Re: Agilent E4406A Power Supply
Are you still looking for an E4406A power supply module? I have one that is complete, but I don't know how well it works, or even if it works. You're welcome to it for shipping costs from 92109. Stan

Ah, Apex Electronics! As I've posted here before or to TekScopes or Test-Equipment-For-Sale-Wanted-or-Exchange, I used to go there decades ago when it was on my way home from work. Lotsa great stuff,

Re: Agilent E4406A / 16700 CPU issue
It's a good idea to grab the synth calibration file via FTP before doing a firmware update. The update process is arranged to try to preserve this cal file, but it is really easy to allow it to be

Re: 410C VTVM Test Leads Coax Type Help
This is from one of the PDF manuals of the 410C I have. I suppose I should have used "resistance" instead of "impedance". The AC VOLTMETER section does use "impedance" and rightfully so. Thanks, Barry

Re: 410C VTVM Test Leads Coax Type Help
Ok. Yes... we used to call that the "DC input resistance' (and I'm pretty sure that HP did too.)... but, times change.

Re: 410C VTVM Test Leads Coax Type Help
Isn't that the DC resistance? With an input impedance of a few pF, the DC "impedance" should be much higher... unless it's a reasonably leaky capacitor?
