Just for the record, here are some pictures of a standard 576 test fixture and the bay it fits into. On this 576 there are no holes for screws to secure the test fixture for shipping.

Hi,

Re: Standard test Fixture for 576(pix attachment) [1 Attachment]
I just removed the test fixture from a 576 and there was no trick required.
Once the two thumb wheel screw are loose, 30 pins of 32 pin connector are all that holds the test fixture in. There are 2

Re: tektronix 2445 help
Hi Luciano,
I am running out of ideas for the simple fix of the scope.
I am not sure of the reading you saw on U800 pin 11 and was hoping someone could check it on a good scope.
Can you look at pin

Re: Current probe TCP312 and TCPA300 amplifier
I don't think that's the problem. I had the scope input on 1Mohm by accident and it showed the exact same wave shape (but obviously a totally incorrect amplitude). So that seems to indicate that the
