Hello Walter,
I removed all pushbutton switches from the frontpanel board. I measured them and all are in an open state. I expected some to be stuck in the closed state, which would explain the not properly starting of the N10. Measuring the resistance of the switches when pussed show major variance in resistance value in the on-state. Seems enough to prevent proper switching.
Unfortunately the previous owner of the instrumen had taken apart 2 of the switches.
I hope to be able to control the instrument from the interfacebus whithout using the frontpanel switches.
Do you know if the instument can be set to remote mode using the interface only or is it required to switch to remote mode using the front keyboard?
I tested the instrument stand-alone, without a sweepgenerator attached to the sweep-input. Could that be the problem?
I am also looking for control software for this instrument (prefer HP-basic or HT-basic), so I don't have to start all-over to write a control program.
Hope we get some interresting discussions on this instrument in this group.
Regards,
Hans Boon
