When looking up some of the specs of the recommended 7000 series and
the 475 I stumbled across the TAS475 and it's faster brother the TAS485.
The 475 has only two inputs, the 7000 mainframes are big, and both are
older than the TAS series. The TAS485 is rated at 200 MHz, has four
channels, and is a bit more modern than the 7000 series. But I can't
find a users manual so at least one of my questions needs your help to
be answered.
1. How reliable are the TAS series, and more specifically, the TAS485?
2. How repairable are they?
3. How nice are they, like ease of use and crispness of trace? Any
other "nice" or "not nice" things I should know about?
4. Are they well built?
5. Now the users manual question: I'd want the four channels set up as
two pairs measuring differential voltages. Can I, for example, invert
channels 2 and 4, and then add channel 1 to inverted channel 2, and add
channel 3 to inverted channel 4?
6. I looked but could not find a users manual for any of the TAS 465,
475, or 485 models. (The BAMA site had a service manual for the TAS465,
but that didn't have the full operating instructions. Anywhere I can
get a free pdf of the TAS485 user manual?
Thanx,
