Re: 2465b NVRAM replacement -2020?

Re: 2465b NVRAM replacement -2020?
Ozan, I forgot about the FRAM option. But I was confused on its advantage vs the Dallas 1225AD. Seems like in both cases you need to capture the prior configuration data(unless like you it was of not

Re: 2465b NVRAM replacement -2020?
I did FRAM replacement on my 2467B. I didn't bother reading the old NVRAM because I was going to calibrate anyway. There is an excellent documentation for different options (google finds it easily).

Re: 2465b NVRAM replacement -2020?
Well it seems there are parallel FRAMs from Infineon/Cypress. Would this work? Mouser stocks them. You would have to use a SOIC to DIP adapter board. The datasheet says standard 8K X 8 pinout so it

Re: 2465b NVRAM replacement -2020?
Wasn't there a FRAM memory chip at some point that could replace the Dallas part? I seem to remember reading about it. I may have even bought some chips to convert one of mine at some point but too

What is the current state of the art for replacing the 2020b late model NVRAM? 0. Looks like the Dallas DS1225AD is a drop in but requires extracting the configuration data. (Yup, I get that my 2465B

Re: P6131, T-coils and other probe stuff
The part that surprises me is that the T-coil was deemed unusable for the case that could most benefit from it. I'm just wondering which of several possibilities was the showstopper for the 3m cable.
