Re: HP8664A with issues
Harke, if that ROM is U32, that's the attenuator assembly cal constants ROM. Definitely make a backup of that & tag it with the serial number of your attenuator assembly if you ever end up with

Re: HP5335A fan replacement
PeterG are you suggesting that the fan I used was a temperature sensing fan and this is what I was seeing where it began to roar at full speed after about 30 minutes? This would explain a lot. It was

Ouch. This is when you shoot the programmer, and all of his managment that allowed any of this to happen.

Now this can be nasty.... Well, there are only so many formats to consider. In terms of parallel, you look for lines changing, then some sort of control strobe. In terms of serial, you look for known

Re: HP5335A fan replacement
In this case, the power supply is for a 500W 2M amplifier. Maximum draw is about 20 amps @ 50 volts, and that's never more than 50% duty cycle for <5 minute periods, so the 50A continuous supply is

Re: HP5335A fan replacement

HP8664A with issues
Hello Group, I have obtained a very cheap HP8664A, but, of course, with issues. Ser no starts with 3744 but internal date codes show well into 2000. It has options 010, 004 and an oven. It has a

Very interesting! An only slightly related learning: A few months ago I wanted to replace the very noisy and over-rated fan on a power supply with something quieter. I got a nice unit that was a

Re: on using Logic Analyzers to understand and reverse engineer systems
BTW For finding clocks, a spectrum analyzer and a small H field probe is much better than a scope. Less risk of disturbing the circuit operation and it's easy to locate the clock lines even if they

Re: 8753ES YIG oscillator circuit WCA
Also, it appears if you have manual control of your preset DAC¡¯s then you can manual tune the DAC 0 to max (it sounds like you have 2040 bit DAC¡¯s if 1019 is your center). Monitor the YIG freq.
