80E Series sampling modules

 

Hi all,

I've seen quite a few 80E series modules sell in "for parts" condition due to presumed ESD/EOS damage. I would really like an 80E04. A working 80E04 is typically $1500+ but I regularly see 80E03 in the $200-$400 range.

The specs between these two are very similar, with the exception that the 80E04 has TDR functionality. The typical damage to this unit is to the front end module, a gold-plated case with a number of pins that connect to the main board.

What are the changes that this front end module is the same between 80E04 and 80E03? I wonder if maybe the only difference between these two is that on 80E04 the TDR feature is enabled and the rise time is characterized. Does anyone have any experience servicing these units? The front end module is totally unserviceable, with its innards being made up of bare dies bonded out inside the unit.

The values are not critical; these capacitors are used for filtering
conducted EMI.

Y class capacitors (hot or neutral to ground) have more stringient
specifications and can be used in place of X (hot to neutral) class
capacitors. Since a short or leakage between hot and ground could
cause a hazardous condition for the user, Y class capacitors must fail
open. X class capacitors just have to fail in a way that they do not
burn and present a fire hazard. You can also use higher class safety
capacitors like X2 and Y2 in place of X1 and Y1.

X class capacitors are available in larger values because Y class
capacitors between hot and ground have to be small enough to limit
ground leakage current. This gets interesting if you have a bunch of
instruments plugged into the same circuit; if their combined ground
leakage currents through their Y class capacitors is high enough, it
can trigger a ground fault interrupter.

Since those are safety cap and ordered one not rate x or y. Decided to extract from junk psu board ceramic cap rate x1 & y2 with 1000pf should feel safer. Those are blue in color ceramic disk type


Re: 7844

 

Maybe it is time for me to make a crib sheet for the 7000 mainframe
interface signals.

I think what is happening is that the vertical plug-in selection
signal which is driven by the mainframe chop selection is getting into
either the 7CT1N base drive current source or the emitter current
amplifier. The vertical smearing is only visible at low base and
emitter currents.

When the 7CT1N is installed into a horizontal slot, operation is
different and the chopping is done without signaling the plug-in. I
ran some tests to confirm that the chop and alt signals are not even
available to a vertical plug-in installed into a horizontal slot; only
one trace is available when using a dual trace plug-in installed into
a horizontal slot.

On Fri, 25 Mar 2016 09:36:20 -0500, you wrote:

I went back and tested it again revealing some problems which were not
apparent before. The 7CT1N was definitely not designed to operate
this way.

It works well enough in alternate mode but that has some
disadvantages. It should work in chop mode but the logic built around
Q204 and Q208 disables the collector supply between chops (why?) and
the chopping rate is so high that the collector supply amplifier and
probably later stages cannot keep up. Removing Q212 should fix this
and it does allow it to work in a horizontal slot but in a vertical
slot it still has problems with vertical smearing.

So without modifying the 7CT1N, it would appear that using a 7844 is
the way to go.

My 7CT1N is a little weird and is probably not operating quite as well
as it should so it may be that the vertical chopping artifacts are
peculiar to it.

? My endless cycle started less than two years ago with a 465 and GenRad 1330A.... both "working" and fully intact. ("working" = the 465 with horribly degraded precision resistors)

Once I called Pittsburg Tektronix about calibration and heard their price, I decided to buy all the cal gear and do it myself......... Now I'm fixing a mountain of cal gear. In the process of buying all of the cal gear, I inevitably encountered many scopes for cheap... That's what got me into the collecting.

Now I have to stack them.

Re: TDS 54x Acquisition troubleshooting

 

Hello,

Quick and late (here) update:

The TDS544A had been put aside a while, the TDS540 passed self tests but
needed a recap for A11 and A12 boards, A10 had been taken care of by
someone before things turned bad.
Now I have a working scope to confront the failing TDS544A with.

The test point TP1608 is at -6.72V, TP1658 at -6.74V in the working scope.
Just for future reference.

What would be a good choice/source for a budget USB GPIB interface?
Avoiding fakes.

TL074/TL072 work fine. Glad the schematics have made it to KO4BB.

I'm not too sure what the voltages should be at those test points. I
would strongly suggest tying to find a GPIB adaptor somehow as it makes
this debugging quite a lot easier. I had problems with the error log
getting too long to find the latest errors.


Even if the traces looks like they are connected make sure to check them
with a multimeter for continuity.

250VAC safety capacitors may have a 630VDC rating so the units you
