I just got bit by this yet again. Does anyone know if it was fixed and what ROM version fixes it? Doing an "autoset" fixes it, but as I have not been able to identify what triggers it, it's hard to

OK, thanks for this information Dennis! I think I wanted to make sure nobody's feelings are hurt.... But I'll stop answering the emails that aren't directly related to me. This setup is very different

Re: SG504 or 503 cable
And a lot lower loss at higher frequencies. Loss can be a little hard to gauge with the usual TDR. The whole point behind the fancy tek cable is that the amplitude accuracy of the SG503 requires the

Transfer option cards from TDS 320 to TDS 350?
Hello from Dublin, Ireland. I have a question some of you knowledgeable folks might be able to advise me on. I have two apparently similar scopes, a TDS 320 (100 MHz, 500 M samples/sec) and a TDS 350

Re: A Probing Question
You may want to look for an old-fashioned Lo-Z probe like a P6056 (500 Ohm) or P6057 (5000 Ohm). Even with their standard BNC connection, they work well with your more modern digital 'scope and can be

Re: A Probing Question

Re: A Probing Question
I have found a similar problem, not with probes, but with circuits. The higher the impedance, the more that the circuit capacitance limits the bandwidth. Most of the 200 Mhz or higher circuits look
