Anyone have the 17090C Measurement Graphics Software for the 7090A Plotter
Hey All, I asked over on VinHPcom but apart for a pointer to the 17090B Software up on HPMuseum I didn't hear much back, so I thought I'd ask here as well. The C version of the software apparently works with Series 300 machines so I'm interested in trying to see if it works with my Viper machine. So if anyone has a copy I'd appreciate it if I could snag one from you. Thanks, TonyG

HP 10248 series data probe IC part number
Does anyone have handy the HP part number on the interface IC used in the 10248 series of logic analyzer data probes? The manual on the probe has all part numbers listed except for the IC that is part of the PWB assembly. I once came across a HP part number 1820-0919 that was believed to be the number but it crosses to a Motorola MC1650L which is a dual A/D converter, an obviously wrong part. Thanks, Greg

E4421B Display Sorted 2
About a year ago one of my E4421B signal generators developed a display contrast problem. I left it for a while and then decided to see what info i could find about the problem. After a while i decided i needed the services of Milan for the CLIP details, this was neatly done (thanks Milan). This info also was left for a while and then i finally took the cover off to see what was happening. As previously reported Q601 had an open BE junction. Mmm strange. But prior to this i measured some weird voltages on the LT1170 regulator and even worse an unusual to me configuration, the ground tab is connected to the 1mH switching inductor. So i confirmed the DAC was supplying a 0 to -10V control signal from the front panel-good but the output from the TL074 was jumpy as was the output from the LT1170 regulator with supplies of up to -46V being measured. Q601 was replaced (not the best thing to do) and the display was back for a minute and then it all went wrong again. Working at the LT1170 was not easy due space and depth issues so i rebuilt the supply on stripboard to emulate the problem. So i couldn't get these weird varying voltages even thought the control signal was fine. Almost there so it was the Schottky diode CR607 that was the culprit. The excess voltages explains the demise of Q601, C651 the 47 uf output capacitor was also replaced. I would suggest to any one with this problem to immediately connect a 24V zener across R625 the 2 watt 1K5 resistor and remove the 15 way flat ribbon going to the display to avoid damaging it whilst affecting repairs as $350 is a high price for a new one cheers Geoff GI0GDP

FS 11672A 8660 extension cable kit 2
HP list, with all the interest in 8660’s recently, I can offer this 11672A cable kit for sale. It is complete, but as expected the foam has deteriorated, everything will need to be cleaned. Hard to see but the cables and connectors are in very good condition, looks like it has not had much use. This is the kit to extend plug in’s, not mainframe board extenders. I used 8660’s for many years here, good piece of RF test equipment, but replaced with lighter weight/small size. $80.00 total shipped to your door, US only, L48. Gary WA2OMY

Keysight 23522a Binary Arb Files 4
Hello Community, I got a 33522a Arb Signal Generator. I'm still looking for a file format description of the binary arb file format ( *.barb ). I found some information about this format and I still can create this files with the basic Parameters - Number of Channel - Numbers of Data Points - Vmax - Vmin - Checksum - Datapoints I found some information about the ASCII Version of the file format ( *.arb ) and there are some more parameter i can set. The problem ist for using the whole 16M space i do need the binary file structure. Finally there are several 32bit or 64bit int / float values which are unknown for me. IT seems to me this unknown values could set a lot of interesting Parameters. Is anyone in this group who has a full description of the *.barb file format for the 33522a series? Alternative could be someone who hast the keysight sw benchvue with Wave Form Option for creating such binary arb Files. He could create a Set of Files with different settings. This could analyzed by my sw. Thanks and best regards TomS

Cleaning N-tyoe cal kit 9
Not strictly Agilent/HP, but I recently bought a 2nd hand N-Type cal kit for the 3 HP VNA's I have. I did originally want a new kit from Kirkby Microwave, but after 3 or 4 emails over the course of a few weeks with no response I gave up. So I have this 2nd kit, the pin depth checks out ok on it. Problem is the foam has deteriorated in the case, and some of it has got into the connectors. I've tried IPA with a swab and got the worst of it out, but some stubbornly remains. Any suggestions to dissolve the black sticky residue? Or otherwise clean these connectors. Problem number 2 is creating a definitions file for the 8519C, 8753C and 8571A although 85054A

display tilt adjustment hp8591a 6
Hi, I repaired an 8591A for a friend, but the display on his screen isn't perfectly straight. I'm guessing there's an adjustment for that, but where is that adjustment? There are adjustments on the top for intensity, frequency, green gain, and horz. Coarse focus on the back, and focus on the side. I haven't attempted to remove the display yet. Yves

OPT 003 (48-440 Hz compatible) fan (full size "Muffin" type fan) - replacement requirements? 8
Have a failing/failed cooling fan from a HP machine with OPT 003 (400 Hz), which appears to apply to the type of fan installed. Are there any requirements (trying remember undergraduate EE class that described analysis of induction motors - does that describe a typical cooling fan of this sort? - but that is digging waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back to the 70s... Should a generic 120 VAC 60 Hz fan of sufficient air flow be acceptable, or do I need search for a fan designed to support 400 Hz?)

HP 3403C True RMS Voltmeter display fault 41
Hello, This is my first post here, thanks for allowing me in. I've had the chance to pick up an HP3403C True RMS voltmeter, serial 1452A03359, with options 0011 (Autoranging) and 006 (dB display). I bought it with its condition unknown. I know some of the parts inside are absolutely not replaceable but for the price it was a bet I wanted to make. So it came in the mail. It must have spent the last few years of its existence in a cellar as it had some slight facia corrosion damage, and absolute STINKS of mold. I have cleaned it thoroughly but it still smells a bit inside. The display is stuck on displaying +1V, blinking. If I set the speed to fast it blinks a bit faster. Sometimes it'll display rubbish until the next power off/on again. It seems to react to the switches as the comma moves with the ranges and the dB display also lights up. I have checked the power supply lines (following the procedure), they're good and I can't see much ripple on my oscillo. I'll replace the capacitors of the power supply but only when I know it works as to avoid unnecessary spending. I have removed all the boards in it (converter and options) only leaving the motherboard, PSU and the display unit and it is still stuck. I therefore believe the issue is not converter related but display related. The display is basically a 3.1/2 digit DVM built around a LD110 (digital processor), LD111 (analog processor) and an SN74LS47N decoder for the displays. Here's their datasheet, and Here's some additional info on the Tek wiki about the duo of LDs. I'm quite the beginner and lack some diagnostics knowledge. The display is also a rather convoluted assembly. Considering the high humidity storage it went through I suppose solder corrosion is not out of the question. I have already cleaned what I could (the boards were all perfect thought) and the gold plated connectors (also perfect) with isoprop. What would be your recommendations on what to try next? Thanks everyone, Arnaud.

Retrofitting 3.5mm connector from HP 8485A sensor onto an existing HP 8481A sensor - possible? 7
Have a HP 8485A sensor I bought used, turns out it had been damaged due to overload, seller refunded, now have a physically nice but electrically dead HP 8485A sensor. Have a HP 8481A sensor surplus to my needs. I'm interested in the possibility of converting my 8481A to an 8485A (3.5mm male connector), albeit not calibrated, in lieu of the cost of buying a working 8485A. Found a Keysight publication that seems to be quite comprehensive coverage of this era sensor: https://www.keysight.com/us/en/assets/9018-04931/service-manuals/9018-04931.pdf?success=true This is titled "Keysight 8480 series coaxial power sensors operating and service manual." I wasn't aware the manual existed; it is current publication from Keysight. The manual has pretty extensive "how to disassemble and reassemble" and other maintenance activities. The underlying thermocouple sensor element appears to be the same part number for 8481A and 8485A, so this brings me to my question - could I create a thermocouple sensor with a 3.5mm HP male connector that could subsequently be recalibrated and used as an 8485A? I've searched and haven't found any reports of the practicality or result of actually trying this procedure. Thanks for any comments, observations, or requests for clarification.

How to recover the video of my graphic 54810-66505 card 2
Hello, I have picked up an oscilloscope 54810 I have some problems on it, but it’s settled. Meanwhile, I tried to put the graphics card 54810-66505 on another motherboard (which also had its video output built in), for tests. Since the video card no longer provides output. The screen is black. If I put an old video card trident, the screen works. I think my manipulation must have "written" information in the chip 65550. (Some register?) What manipulation could reactivate it? NB: the card is visible in the bios pnp/pci parameters Your opinion. cdt

Agilent/Keysigh ESG series CLIP 45
Hi Fellows, Last offer before retirement... CLIP P/N is E4400-90336 Model covered: E4400B, E4420B, E4421B, E4422B, E4423B, E4424B, E4425B, E4426B, E4430B, E4431B, E4432B, E4433B, E4434B, E4435B, E4436B I’m sure that also E44xxA series are covered because i have also ESG-D3000A = E4432A and boards/modules of this guy are also covered. Keysight seems didn’t put E44xxA series in the Find-A-Part database because is older than B series. Was a lot of work to scan over 1000pages...I'm asking 35USD or 30EUR When we did a scan, not optimal scanner parameters were used... scanner ignored inductors (spring like lines) but references and values are there. Once we saw this, was to late to do job again. Zip file size is about 122MB I told, not perfect scan quality but totally useful, please check attachment. Please contact me on my private email: milan.vasic@... BR, Milan

HP 8673D synthesized generator - need help identifying the two PC boards attached to A1A11 power amplifier 4
I'm on (the other) HP 8673D repair project now. This one never worked in the time I have owned it, and I'd been storing it as a parts mule, but decided (now that I have some experience with disassembly and repair) that I'd like see if I can bring it back to life. Primary symptom: Very low output (rarely approaching 0 dBm, at some frequency ranges much less), unleveled indicator (as the available RF would never reach the setpoint of the ALC circuit), yet never an "unlocked" indication. Fault isolation so far: The service manual vol 2 08673-90022 (in section BD5) walks through several tests; it turns out RF level (so-called "baseband") 2.0-6.6 GHz out of YTO (then through a bias tee, modulator for pulse modulation, and a high pass filter) measures with adequate RF on all YTO frequencies (spec is >= 10 dBm; this is satisfied with about +18 dBm at bottom end of range and staying above +10 dB to the end of the range.) This signal is sent to the YTM assembly; output from YTM is very low and fluctuates widely across frequencies. The service manual details RF level tests at the high pass filter output (what goes to the power amplifier which is the start of the YTM system) and RF level tests at output of the YTM (this output is very low and uneven across frequencies, resembling output of the 8673D overall, so fault is in this area. Further attempt at fault isolation: The YTM assembly includes a power amplifier (A1A11, part number in my (preliminary) manual is 08673-67004. The popwer amplifier in this 8673D part number is 08673-67011. The manual provides zero detail (that I can find) detailing expected output of the power amplifier that feeds the YTM itself. As that connection was SMA, I connected A1A11 power amplifier output (via attenuation) to the power meter and found ~0 dBm output (varying widely across frequencies), and after a few minutes in this configuration, A1A11 amplifier output went to zero and never returned. Unsuccessful search for details in service manual: Attached are photos of the A1A11 amplifier and two associated PC boards, part numbers 08673-60140 (provides DC to the A1A11 power amplifier via pins E1 through E12) and 08673-60139. The DC test points on 08673-60140 (upper/larger board in photo) expect +5, -3.5, -6.5 and -9 VDC; I measured these (in system while running) at +5, -6.5, -6.5 and -9 (+/- some mV), so the -3.5V test point's voltage was incorrect. I'm not able find schematics of either board in the (large/heavy) service manual, hence my posting here - does this ring a bell with anyone that may have encountered these modules in another context, has worked on an 8673D in this area, or has seen these mentioned in the service manual volume 2 (document number 08673-90022)? In modern times, getting more gain and power at 2.0-6.6 GHz would not be at all difficult, however, the YTM is sensitive to the level of RF input, and it appears visually that the circuitry around the A1A11 amplifier is at least in part allowing the CPU to control output from A1A11 to keep drive within some (undocumented) acceptable level window. Thanks for any clues! Dave

Threads for screws on 8656 Siggen 28
Hi can someone tell me what thread the screws are that hold the back panel on HP8656. I am assuming they are 5/32 as 3mm and 4mm metric are either too small or too big. or wrong thread Are the UNF , UNC or something else? imperial thread screws are not common in Australia, and I have lost all teh screws out of the back of my sig gen. I think the ones i ordered were bsw and of course don't fit Wayne VK2WDE
