Re: HP 3400A Upgrade PCBs Available
Thank you Hal, those pictures should have all the missing information, I can see they removed a double thickness ground trace from the front and made a much wider trace on the back, it confirms the

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behavior
Just from your description I knew it's a wet-slug Ta type. These were used in certain spots where fairly high capacitance is needed, with low leakage. When it opened up, there went the CW filter

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behavior
Those are very very special caps. They are made to insure that the equipment fails after a number of years. The acid that leaks out will dissolve PC traces. Make sure you clean any residue off. I use

Re: HP 3400A Upgrade PCBs Available
Thanks to both Hal & David for info. The 03400-60013 manual covers 03400-66512 Rev A (prefix 2225) & Rev C (prefix 2415). As has been suggested elsewhere, it's most possible the Rev D was only covered

Re: HP3400A Nonlinearities
The custom scale compensates for nonlinearity in the meter movement itself, not the instrument the meter is installed in. Dave Wise ________________________________ Sent: Monday, November 20, 2023

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behavior
Hi all, I can hardly believe what I saw when I took out the A6-board. A capacitor with only one leg... what the heck is so special about this one that its so different to all the others - and leaking,

Re: HP 3400A Upgrade PCBs Available
David - you mention you are doing your own replacement for this board - if you are still in the design stage i would suggest you look at the OPA182 for the chopper amp - I used it in one I did a while

Re: HP 8350B sweeper behavior
Hi Martin, One important detail. is that the CW filter is only active when the 8350 is in CW mode. If the 8350 is set to a center frequency and zero span, its still in "sweep mode", and the CW filter

Re: HP 16500C looking for logic analyser boards that are functional
