What calibration items to buy.
I'm looking get get set up to be able to calibrate my own scopes. In reading the 485 manual a high frequency constant amplitude signal generator 100-350mhz is needed. If in the future I pick up a

Re: Analog computing, X-Y display, was Re: [TekScopes] Wanted: Tek 503
I've found X-Y mode on a digital scope (TDS460A at least) to be extremely unsatisfying. It seems to be far from the sweet spot of what DSO's can do.

Re: Analog computing, X-Y display, was Re: [TekScopes] Wanted: Tek 503
I'd recommend just using almost any analog scope that has X-Y capability for display. For low frequencies including audio, the response of the V and H should be virtually identical - you can easily

Re: Analog computing, X-Y display, was Re: [TekScopes] Wanted: Tek 503
Thanks for the extra info. I certainly wish I could peer over your shoulder, I'd probably learn a lot. A very cheap X-Y option right now is a 1720 vectorscope, if that has the bandwidth you need; it's

Toby, Documentation is just a notebook, a few pics before disassembling anything important. Analog computers are two Comdyna GP-6. FWIW, the system could modeled in MatLab, Mathematica, or even

Analog computing, X-Y display, was Re: [TekScopes] Wanted: Tek 503
I'm curious about your analog computer. Are you documenting/blogging/video'ing this anywhere? What is the goal? I'm also working on circuits to drive X-Y displays, but at a very basic level since I'm

Re: To Recap -or- Not to Recap
I have been refurbishing some late 70s-early 80s HP gear and I only replace bad capacitors per ESR or Q meter readings. A schematic helps in making sure there are no other elements in parallel that

The LO input to the mixer is also dead. It comes into the mixer through a cable/plug and it's still dead while unplugged. There are several test points on the LO circuit . The manual has a few

Sounds good. I terminated it with 600 ohms and now it's perfect. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Rick

Re: Cheap differential probe ?
Dennis' suggestion of using add and invert mode on the oscilloscope works well depending on how much sensitivity you need. If you have a 7000 mainframe, then a 7A13 combined with standard x1 probes

Re: Cheap differential probe ?
Massdrop had one a week ago for $140. I was actually quite surprised to see such a specialized piece of equipment show up for sale there. If it's not available now, be patient, it'll come up again.

Re: Cheap differential probe ?
Dave- You might consider going to ham radio swap meets. A really great FET differential probe is the Tek P6046. I picked up one for less than $50 if I remember correctly and it is perfect. Many people

Anyone have a Tek 503 that's looking for a new home? The 503's specs fit nicely as an output display for an analog computer project I'm working on. Or, perhaps there's a better, newer model the group

Re: Cheap differential probe ?
There is no such thing as a cheap differential probe. They have to be matched across a wide frequency range to have good CMRR. If you want a cheap CMRR the solution may be on your scope. All dual
