Re: Anti Static Vacuum Cleaners
In general, it is not a problem. The thing with static electricity and vacuum cleaners is, though. What happens is the dust inevitably has a charge, and when it gets dragged through the hose, it

Re: Anti Static Vacuum Cleaners
I looked around for something similar a while back. I was thinking of the vacuums used to clean out toner from printers (we used to have these when I worked for STK Printer Ops). They had small

Re: HP 3455A stability issue
I believe the creep is normal in a 3455A—the Autocal circuitry is designed to correct for the creep. The 3456A uses different circuits and doesn't creep, so it doesn't need the Autocal circuit. I

Re: Looking help with HP 3322HB 110 dB programmable attenuator
I believe these are the common HP design with solenoid coils driving two plungers that switch the pads in and out. If you have not overloaded the 10 dB section, then likely the problem is with some

I'm a little confused by that, if I remove A70 and close the switch and it then the unit runs a proper CAL, wouldn't that say A21 and A22 were good? Thanks, Lamont P.S. I'm

Re: 3586B Selective Voltmeter Help trouble shooting
