Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello,
Addressing another device using interactive IO doesn't seem to release the 436. What I did find out though was that viRead - wich is what interactive IO actually does - gets 14 characters

Re: Tips on repairing the stick attenuator in the HP86603A
I guess a part number for the attenuator in question would help.
Everyone does not have 86603A manuals to check the part number.
The o-ring failures are quite common.
The attenuators with o-rings are

Chuck and others,
No doubt you are right about the small light bulb been used: Here is my memory from EE school:

Re: Tips on repairing the stick attenuator in the HP86603A
I had asked if anyone was familiar with this type of atten. NOT the 8495 style, but a long stick. I guess no one reads. NO O rings.

Re: HP8555A attenuator switching characteristics - notes and questions
Hi Ed,
The output pulse is inhibited while the switch is rotating by?the pulse from?contact 4F on S1 (attenuator level) this feeds an RC network R18/C4 and Q2 on A7. If you turn the switch too fast

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello,
Indeed a point. Not having a second 436 around, I will try this one and see
where it gets me for now, but if anyone would send me a 436 - I’d be happy
to test :-)
Regards,

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
It’s not impossible that you have a stuck gate somewhere, and the operation you observe is not normal for the instrument. It’d be worth checking that against another 436A.
Cheers, Kuba

Sounds like the universal problem of decaying O-rings Jeff.? They are easier to replace than source.

Re: HP Oscilloscope 1703A
Hi Ken
If you google "HP 1703a" the first hit is an operating and service manual. It's actually a 35MHz scope.
The HP memory project also has a nice article on the 1700 series.
