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

Be carefull with what you spray in. Some of those things conduct very good, resulting in a potentiometer that is not reacting anymore. I have just repaired a transcreiver where the former owner had

It is still useful information! Thanks to all. I have a Velleman two channel digital scope that runs on the USB on a computer. It will do X-Y and I may try that for the units that have analog outputs.
