Hi Peter, I humbly apologize for my silence but I had no time to attend the group and accordingly, I completely missed your message. Thank you so much for your offer!! I live in Italy: do you think

What others have said. Please check the type of EEPROM. They can be programmed in different ways.

8341B vs 8673B
Hi all, Thanks again for great advice on my thread about spectrum analyzers. I'm looking to expand my capabilities with one or more signal generators. I'm mostly interested in pulse modulation and

Re: HP8340A SYTM broken?
Sven, The graph you included showing the insertion loss for band 0 now has me thinking.?? The slope you measure is almost identical to what I witness against my faulty unit (with a falloff from ~1

Re: Hp 8590a eeprom problem.
I did recap the PS with high grade caps . I'll double check those rails and dig into it and see if I can get a part number for U21.

Re: Hp 8590a eeprom problem.
It's interesting that it's so intermittent. Have you verified that the instrument's power supplies are stable? What type of EEPROM is U21? (chip part number) Do you know offhand what's stored in it?

Re: Hp 8590a eeprom problem.
I'm getting a error code of 1310 upon turning the SA on. It's indicating eeprom u21. There is some hand writing in the manual (looks like corrections to the manual) that if you get that error code

Re: HP8340A SYTM broken?
Hi Sven, My 8340A experiences exactly the same issue as yours.?? Moreover it thinks the level is OK when its not (ie. no UNLEVEL error like I would expect) A few years ago I took my unit apart and

Re: Hp 8590a eeprom problem.
Many of us know a great deal about programming EEPROMs. I think with more specific information someone here should be able to provide some guidance. But based on what you said above, if something is

Re: Hp 8590a eeprom problem.
Does anyone know anything about programing a eeprom ? I have looking at a eeprom programmer. I was thinking if I could read the old one and transfer that data to the new eeprom. Would I be

To be fair both 1) Not quoting what one is replying to OR 2) Quoting vast amounts of irrelevant previous posts are common on all mailing lists. That problem is not unique to a forum, with email

Re: 3458A Schaffner Mains Filter
If I need to do such a check, I run the device from a 110 V source (*). Smaller chance of blowing up, and 1/4 the energy if it does. Interesting discussion, but we are not much further along pinning

Re: HP8340A SYTM broken?
I'd toa bit more investigation: 1) Test YIG output (rar of 8340) 2) Test input to the YTM from the low band amp Things to suspect: Low band AMP, heterodyne mixer and 3.8GHz oscillator. SRD is not
