CHECK OUT THE WIKI The purpose of the wiki is mainly to allow you to find information on instruments, either from either
- The model number
- The function(s) listed below. Some instruments have multiple functions - for example, the 4195A is a VNA, spectrum analyzer and an impedance analyzer. Therefore the 4195A is listed in multiple categories

Re: Question: XY (XYZ or Vector) instrument CRT, replacement with an LCD ?
Look at the schematics, the step amplifier for example. It shows 2v/div for the steps. Connect an instrument amplifier to the Steps Out and adjust the gain. The deflection amplifiers are trickier but

Re: HP 412AR Leads
Are they actually coaxial on the 412?? Wow, I didn't realize that. I stand corrected. So, ok, the OP will need to get some coaxial cable rather than single-conductor silicone probe wire. -Dave

Re: HP 412AR Leads
It's not that simple.? The leads are coaxial cables with terminations such that four wire resistance can be done.? The manual shows it but you will need some special cable. Bob
