Re: How to write a PCMCIA SRAM card?
My experience with SRAM and Flash cards: I used an old Gateway laptop with WinXP. I could read/write an SRAM card just the same as if it were a drive. I could also read/write a Flash card that came

Re: 8920B low frequency limit
Hi Robert I think that we are both making the same point but using slightly different language. Somewhere I have an advertising flyer for the 8920A with splashed on the front page "New electronic

Re: 8920B low frequency limit
Yes, that confirms that you have to check the individual instrument to be 100% sure. The information in catalogs indicate the 8920A should always have had a mechanical A23 module from new. I can find

Re: 8920B low frequency limit
The units with the relay based attenuator should also have the .4-1Ghz label on the front ..this is true for the A's and B's the early 8920A only had the relay based RF I/O? standard and the later

Re: 8920B low frequency limit
Hi Robert As I said I have little experience with the 8920B. The really confusing issue with the 8920A is the front panel which gives the range as 400KHz to 1GHz even when option 055 is not fitted. My

Bit of a cross post from HPAK group. For 250kHz signal generator usable output the 8920A/B must have a mechanical (relay) A23 output module. Option 055 was the normal option for a mechanical input

Re: How to write a PCMCIA SRAM card?
Hi, Glad you got it working. You can put as much software on the card as will fit or possibly 255 files max. No directories; they all go in the "root". The card I have has both RF tools and NA FM on

Re: 8920A and 8920B faults
The 8920A failure is a common problem and typically caused by someone keying into the antenna port. You have to pull the RF I/O and crack the case and look at the antenna port components. typically it
