From Tim P (UK)
As you may have gathered from the manual, the 3C66, and 'big brother' Type
Q are very specialised plug-ins.
The only use is with transducers like pressure sensors and foil strain
ga(u)ges.
I have one in a 564 with a Statham pressure transducer and a
pneumotachometer, but TBH it lacks sensitivity here.
I have also seen a 564 storage 'scope with two 3C66s in X/Y configuration
for displaying stress / strain curves.
It's a 'fun' thing if you have the transducers, and probably useful for
teaching about certain engineering concepts, but yes, it's a
'one-trick-pony'

hi,
Has anyone had experience with the Tek 3c66 Carrier Amplifier Bridge
plug-in for the 560 scope ?
It appears to amplify signals from variable impedance transducers &
sensors, such as strain gauges, according to the TekWiki
reference:
Are there any other interesting uses for it ?
Can this 3c66 plug-in be modified or harvested for other use ?
thank you,
rick
