Re: Part Needed
I believe this device is a GPD from the AVANTEK range in the late 1970s and early 80s. See datasheet at: http://www.rf-microwave.com/en/shop/0/393-high-performances-professional-mmic/4168-GPD-401.html

Re: 8594e front panel buttons not responding
Part of the IEE-488 standard was a function called ¡°local lock out¡± (LLO) which does prevent local operation or even going to local (GTO), but I don¡¯t recall that it survives a power cycle. Daun

HP 8355X mm wave module with HP 8673B/C/D signal generator
Hi, The HP 8355X millimeter-wave source module is used with an HP 8673B/C/D signal generator and an HP 8349B amplifier to generate mm wave signals. The manual notes that the 8355X requires the signal

Re: Part Needed
Hi David, I was able to review the MAR-3+ MMIC datasheet, and I believe that I may need an add-on board. I posted some pictures of the 5335A A9 board, especially in the vicinity of the U1 amplifier

Re: 8594e front panel buttons not responding
From memory, doesn't this thing have a 'Hold' function key that locks out the keys, keypad and encoder knob? It hasn't got stuck in that mode somehow has it?

Re: 8594e front panel buttons not responding
It should power up in local if the board is OK. You might also try just removing the GPIB card for a test. It senses what if any interface card is present on power up. I think it is most likely that

Re: 8594e front panel buttons not responding
It does have GPIB. Could that happen spontaneously? Would that persist through a power cycle? I haven't been controlling this with GPIB. I have a GPIB interface, so I suppose I could try to query it

See my earlier post on this thread, but on all the instruments I listed, it was trivial - basically drop the front panel out (see your manual - but generally a few screws through the top and bottom of

8594e front panel buttons not responding
I just powered up my 8594e to find that it's not responding to any front panel buttons, soft buttons, or the jog dial. The intensity knob works. The unit passes the self tests and starts sweeping just

Re: Neon pilot lights 1450-0566
Thanks Greg, The Lumex one almost certainly could be made to fit in the 141T. I've managed to get the back off mine and fitted an NE-2, but if I ever need it I'll bear that one in mind. Dan

Re: Part Needed
An add-on board will not be needed. For a Minicircuits MAR-3+ type of MMIC amplifier, remove R2, short C3, move the old C3 to where R2 was, and install a 270 ohm resistor between +15.7 volts where R2

Re: How do you clean buttons on HP uWave gear?
Thanks, great to have a link. A feeler gauge will get you a few pieces though, so in the scheme of things it's still a cheap repair. If you know a machinist he will usually have some shim stock also.

Re: How do you clean buttons on HP uWave gear?
Generally you remove the front panel circuit board and front panel, then separate the PCB and that will get you enough access to work on the buttons. Do this over a benchtop as some of the little

Thanks for the response. I'm a purist when it comes to using the original HP part, so I want to try find it if it still available. I was unable to cross-reference the 5088-7036 to any
