Re: HP 5360A Counter
I worked for National 1979-1990 and can confirm at least some of the problems were due to management¡¯s unwillingness to spend money maintaining (much less improving) process and equipment. Jeremy

Re: HP8510B Reading and writing A13 EEPROM, problem with Xicor x28256
I have successfully written at least 6 boards - only one has the failure described.? I'm (reasonably) sure it is weak EEPROM. It will take me a bit to dig up my verson of Wayne's code, but I will

Re: HP 5360A Counter
At LSSM we do repairs on TTL circuitry all the time. National Semiconductor SSI ICs have, by far, the highest failure rate of all manufacturers' ICs. I had (and still have) great respect for NS, but

Re: HP 5360A Counter
I acquired one of these back circa 23 years ago. According to the knowledgeable seller it worked but had a bad time-base.? Ha! As some of you know, this engineering marvel has >100 SSI/MSI TTL ICs.?

Re: HP 5360A Counter
Hi Paul, May I please clarify something in your post? You "added a RS-232 port" to your HP 5360A? Do you have any more details on that? I have the HP 5376A Programmer for the HP 5360A. Sadly the

Re: HP8510B Reading and writing A13 EEPROM, problem with Xicor x28256
This is the EEPROMs on A13 board. It's a bit discomforting if you don't get writing to the Xicor x28256 to work properly. What I'm a bit curious of is how Wayne's code does the writing. In my current

Re: 410C VTVM Test Leads Coax Type Help
I thought they weren't coax either but they are. I verified that with my 410Cs. I think they did that to keep down the noise on low value readings. Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

Re: 410C VTVM Test Leads Coax Type Help
I'm curious about this coax aspect if it's on the 3 leads - not the RF.? As far as I recall, those 3 are just single wires, no coaxial content.? DCA/DCV/OHMS/COM - all single wire.? Only the AC
