looks like you might need to check the config of your FTP program. It looks like its configured to use active mode - the PORT command is issued when using active mode, so this is a pretty clear indicator of where the problem lies . Active transfers will generally not work correctly behind a firewall. Try changing the settings to Passive mode and you should be good to go. Step 5 on this page this should explain how to configure your FTP client: cheers Paul On 23/01/2007, at 8:09 PM, Jos Raven wrote:

It's hard to believe that they really came with extender boards. There are two types of boards required for the 8640, one for the bottom boards and one for the top. I am not near the manuals right now and don't remember the number of pins for each. I would be interested. Will post again when I find the manual and see if the 30 pin and 36 pin meets the need fo both top and bottom of the 8640. Pete G. |

Tantalum caps are both inexpensive and stable. That isNot sure I would agree with that. In the era of equipment we are talking about tantalum caps were VERY expensive. They were used principally for their small size, better losses and lower ESR at higher frequencies. In terms of temperature co-efficient, many tantalums were better than aluminium caps, but this was generally not the reason they were chosen. For the same reason, nowadays we often use special high value ceramic capacitors (2.2uf, 3.3uf, 4.7uf) not because of stability, but because they offer better ESR figures than even the best tantalums and thus offer better regulator stability in many power supplies. But you have to choose the right parts, otherwise a single top quality ceramic needs to be replaced with a tantalum and two ceramics in some cases. In older equipment using tantalums (usually the early teardrop ones) you should make sure you have a good ceramic bypass across the tantalum. Back in the mid-80's we tested that tantalums for breakdown at high voltage and reverse voltage - very difficult to get them to fail. But let too much RF appear across the tantalum and you could almost always guarantee holes in the ceiling! But you need to be careful even today. I have seen modern surface mount tantalums for Kemet explode with RF. However, I have never lost one that I could attribute to overvoltage or reverse voltage. John |

Re: General opinion on 180 series scopes?
Besides using caps from a 1st or 2nd tier manufacturers, remember when replacing Ta caps to provide enough voltage "headroom". One of the reasons the Ta caps fail is that the the rated voltage was too close to the in-circuit voltage. That works for Al caps, but not Tas.

From: Thomas Hejl <tmhejl@...> Paul, According to list and description of the 180 series scope that you gave, the 180C would appear to be the best buy. Most probes are of the passive type (they do not need an external additional power source to operate). The X10 or 10X probes that I mentioned should be passive as well. Check with the seller on the specifications of them (I could not find specs. right away on the HP10008A). If you are on a budget (as most of us are), then there are still other scopes that may perform as well and are less expensive. A few in mind are the Tektronix 2213 and the 2215 at 60MHz and the 465 at 50MHz. These are rather inexpensive, non-modular and are newer machines than the 180's (which were made around 1987). If the only choices you have are the 180's then stay with the 180C (The 184 might be overkill). Mike was correct of being on guard with the capacitors. Heat is the biggest killer of electronic components. More heat is generated from the units power supply then probably anywhere else. It is these capacitors that need the most attention. Tantalum caps are both inexpensive and stable. That is why manufacturers use them so often. When a circuit requires stabilization in performance, tants are caps of choice. Their biggest draw back is when they fail. (In particular the dipped ones.) There will be no warning. Some will simply short out internally and work one day but not the next. Others will go like a fire cracker sending carbon smoke throughout the unit with the sound of a pop. Electrolytic caps will give some warning sometimes. They may start to bulge out. Performance gets weaker due to poor ESR. See samples here at: (If you ever do decide to replace any cap., make sure it is made from a reliable manufacturer. Dell Computer had a problem with caps a few years back due to the purchase of bad caps from a poor source.) So changing capacitors (in the power supply at least) is a wise thing to do. Whether they are tantalum's or electrolytic's it might save aggravation in the future. As for changing ALL the tants I counted about 20 per plug-in on the ones I have in my shop. It is going to be a task, so weigh your time, effort and cost vs. probability of their failure. As far as plug-ins go, I have not had one fail yet. The power supply I would not take any chances on, replace them at least.

It is even more fair to say that internally generated heat and electrolytics don't mix well. It has been my experience over 35 years designing equipment that temperature rise due to losses in electrolytics does far more damage than external heat. Although modern, high performance electrolytics are much better (low cost 85C "jelly bean" electro's seem to be no better!) the losses will increase with age, thus so will dissipation and the entire process accelerates.Mike was correct of being on guard with theWhile it's true that electrolytics and heat don't mix all too well, However, the assertion that capacitors are likely to be your biggest problem is pretty valid in most cases. As for 180 series CRO's in general. They were, and remain, good performers. Easy to maintain, easy to find 'donor' instruments for them and with manuals very readily available. I used them very happily until about 1998. The only Tek CRO's I ever liked enough to own were a 475 portable and a 7904 high speed mainframe. But somehow the CRO closest to me for 20 years was a 180 series. I now happily use HP 546xx series DSO's. I never succumbed to the cult of Tek! John |

Re: General opinion on 180 series scopes?
Mike was correct of being on guard with theWhile it's true that electrolytics and heat don't mix all too well, I'd stay away from such broad "heat is the killer" statements. Reading some Bob Pease and trying things out convinced me that in most cases making things run cool often does zilch for performance. In the end you have to measure worse performance to claim that heat is the enemy. There are some well known things such as leakage currents that scale bad with temperature, but those are either designed-in or other precautions are taken. While I admit that excessive operating temperature in power supplies is typically a sign of a novice or misunderstanding designer, this doesn't equally carry on to other parts of the circuitry. Disclaimer: Modern high integration CPUs are a different story and I won't go into that. Cheers, Kuba |

Re: General opinion on 180 series scopes?
I have had two 180A scopes in regular use for many years including a
range of plug ins and have not had a single breakdown in all that time. One is populated with an 1803A (bought new in the 70's for BIG bucks) and the other scope with the GP vert amp 1801A I also have the service extenders which Ive never used yet, but now that Ive posted this I will probably have to use them soon! The only hassle Ive had is with the 4 channel plug in I used to use on a 184 The sync take off is after the vertical Very reliable scopes |

Hi Geoff,Hmm, IIRC the 86222B is a hetrodyne 10MHz to 2.4GHz(ish) sweeper which uses fixed and sweeping oscillators. If your sweeping spurious is that far down I wonder if it is a 2F1-2F2 type signal, which really cannot be avoided. The spec. for non-harmonic spurii is => -25dBc or -30dBc depending on the frequency, so you may not have a fault. However, to answer your question, I would not expect electrolytic capacitor problems would cause a fault as you describe at uwave frequencies. Also IMO the type of capacitor you describe have been the most reliable, but I have had them go s/c and o/c in the past. 73 de Geoff -- Geoff Blake G8GNZ located near Chelmsford, Essex, U.K. Please reply to: geoff (at) palaemon (dot) co (dot) uk Using Linux on Intel & Linux or NetBSD on Sun Sparc platforms Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
