I bought three APC7 cal kits with them in, but I have seen the extractors on eBay. I guess the biggest problem is that 99.9¨G of people would not know what one is, so its anyone's guess how they

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
Can you give me the HP part numbers you need? It is possible we have them in stock, but if HP bought them I have a copy of the ¡°purchased parts¡± database and it generally lists most of the specs

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
From observations that different parts for Q11 seem to change the behavior, I'd say the JFET type is the issue. Also, the 2N3904s standing in for Q13 and Q14, with no effect, reinforces Q11 as the

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
Good morning Greg, The pinch-off voltage of Q11 is critical. SInce its source sits at approximately -4.8V (which is equal to -6.2 plus the summed Vbe's of Q14 and Q13), its gate will be at

FN2960 sounds like and old Fairchild part number, They used a ceramic body with a drop of epoxy, or molded plastic cases. They used their trademark, a styleized 'F' as part of the part number. Michael

George, Thanks so much for chiming in!? As an engineer, my fellows and I had the utmost respect for what HP's designers were able to accomplish and getting info straight from the source is a rare

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
The NTE part has max value for Vgs(off) of -10V. NSN 5961-00-615-7002 shows part numbers including FN2960 and 1855-0412. It has '3.0 maximum gate to source voltage' which I assume is the same

Re: Unleveled E4436B
Hi Tim, Nice. Interesting that it is that accurate at 4GHz after the conversion. I have more than several of these generators and I think they are great. I noticed on mine that if you do a hard reset

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
I put a pair of 2N3904 in for Q13-14 - no change unfortunately.? :-( Yes, it's hard to figure out what Q11 needs to be - HP lists 'FN2960' as an equivalent but that doesn't come back with a match for

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
I was just looking back at the schematic and OP - I see that you reported Q11 was bad and replaced, but not with the same type. This could be the problem, since JFETs all work more or less the same,

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
If U2 is railed negative, then Q11 should cut off. Are the parts in sockets? If so, try pulling Q13, which should drop the gain and the current to a very low value. If there's no effect, then try Q14.

Prologix has updated the EZGPIB file and is working on the C++ example.
The title says it all. You will find many examples in the folder when you download it. Just click on EZGPIB.exe to run. Investigate the?DF6JB Plotter as well. No affiliation, I just like this
