Re: Foot Assy for (Re: 7562A Log Voltmeter/Converter)

 

I spoke casually; I was just distinguishing between the three (known to me)
System I sizes. An example of narrow is the 400C/E/F/G. Then you have
the medium size, which is a bit more than 1/3-rack.
You can't fit three, but two leave a big gap. (And finally of course
the full-rack size.)

Sorry,
Dave Wise

Dave, you describe these as 1/3 wide, but only two fit into a 19" rack
adapater (they came out of one with p/n 5060-8764).

Or am I missing something here?

That cabinet design is known as System I, as are the feet,
but the only size
that's commonly available is the single.
The seven-inch bar for the 1/3-wide cabinet is rare; I'm also
looking for
two for my 5210A Frequency Meter.
In the meantime we can use generic stick-ons, but we'll have
to do without
the bail.

HP8559A mainboard issue

 

Dear members:

Anyone had experience to repair the MAIN Board of HP8559A ?

Problem is displaied signal lower than actually value.

Hello All
Does anyone have a compatible Display information
for HP Part 1990-0490 ( I Think it is a STD 7 Seg Display )
Comes out from HP 3575A.
Don't want to take a chance.
Thanks

Arthur, no I'm not in the USA. I'm based in the UK.

I understand what they do, but I don't need that function, and would happily
sell them on to a new home rather than scrap 'em.

(though I don't think that using them for a project qualifies as scrapping -
they are very nice boxes).

dont scrap it
they were designed to logrithmicly compress a signal
before going into a chart recorder if you dont like it maybe i
can buy it from you.
are you in the usa??

These had a "front bail/foot" type front #1490-0032 and the
rear foot
was #5060-0728 built in the late 60's and early 70's
...probably common
to other gear of that era

I would rather like some feet for them (they were in a rack

Each instrument originally had two feet (one at the front,
one at the back).
The feet are a plastic bar about 7" long and 3/4" wide with
detents at the
ends for a bail bar, and a push button in the middle with
instructions
"Press then slide foot".

Re: Step attenuator repair stuff uploaded in files section

 

I just tried to find that file also, but it doesn't seem to be there.
Lothar, is there any chance to re-post it?
This would be useful, and I must admit that I had missed the original post.
I notice that the file space for the list is pretty much full, and probably
needs to be weeded out. Might try uploading to another site, like Didier's.

The 7562A has a crest factor of 5:1, which is between the 10:1 you can get
with a thermal converter and the 3:1 you could get with the early analog
multipliers. I don't know which it is.

Thanks Dave,

I also found a write up about it in the October 1968 HP
Journal. I suspect
that the oven on the A5 board is for one (or both) arms of
the thermocouple
used for the RMS conversion. I've had one of them on for
about 1 hour, and
the Zero set has moved around a *lot* as it warmed up, but
the oven doesn't
appear appreciably warm to touch ??? but the PSU - now that
DOES run pretty
darn warm!

Accuracy +/- 0.5dB in AC mode (over most of the range 0.5Hz -
100kHz), +/-
0.25dB in DC mode

You're right they will make very nice project boxes :-)

FW: 7562A Log Voltmeter/Converter

 

Brief specs are on page 182 of the 1970 catalog you can download from www.hparchive.com .

Log converters are great for measuring voltages with
a large dynamic range. HP grouped them as accessories
to their Recording and Data Acquisition product lines -
to keep the pen from going off the chart.

Log converters of this era used the exponential I-V
characteristic of diode and transistor junctions to
get the logarithmic response. These have a large
temperature coefficient and must be ovenized if you
want any kind of accuracy.

I have an earlier instrument, the Moseley 60D, but
I haven't worked on it yet.

The heater is almost certainly for the log element in the FB loop. The
temp. stability is needed to stabilize the thing.
