Re: 7704A - Noise on sine-wave traces
I remember now that this involves adjustment of the LF Compensation. The calibration steps for that calls for a standardizer fixture and I don't have one of those. Is there a way to make that

Re: Seeking 56x plugin extender, or connectors to make one.
Oops, I meant a 3S76, in case anyone thought I¡¯d found an unusually rare (to the point of nonexistence) plugin. :-)

Seeking 56x plugin extender, or connectors to make one.
I¡¯m fixing up my 564 and its plugins. The mainframe is now working, but I have multiple issues with a 3A6, a 3T76, and a 3T77. The lack of a plugin extender is making things awkward. I know the Tek

Tek 468 GPIB board
I recently acquired a parts donor for my working 468. The donor unit had a GPIB card which I tried to transplant into the working one. Having checked the documentation, I found that a DIP switch

Re: P6201 and 492P
Thanks Harvey You can confirm the following settings on the active probe: termination on EXT, the DC OFFSET on OFF and the INPUT COUPLING on AC ? Thanks, cheers Attilio

Re: Tektronix 2430A
My 2430A is one of those. The batteries in the Dallas modules gave up a few years ago so I first lost trace storage and then the calibration data. I replaced both RAMs with Cypress FRAMs

Re: P6201 and 492P
Since the P6201 has a variable offset in the box, it does (and will) put out a DC voltage.? DC block highly recommended.? I'd put it closest to the probe box, then run a short length of cable to the

Re: P6201 and 492P
Thank you Jean-Paul and JOE. Can you tell me how to set the active probe P6201? In any case I think it is essential to use a DC-block because the 492 does not accept any DC voltage at RF input.. Happy

Re: 7704A - Noise on sine-wave traces
Yes - I was thinking it was digital noise coming from the readout character generation circuits. I tried the switch in the GATED position and that does indeed eliminate [almost] all of the gaps in the

Parting out or selling a 535A

Re: 7704A - Noise on sine-wave traces
There's likely no relationship between the chopping frequency and the sweep speed.? I'd go for random. You're thinking that this behaves like digital, perhaps? Harvey

Re: 7704A - Noise on sine-wave traces
Hi Harvey, I'll see if that resolves the issue. The way that the blanks move along the trace, it seemed a more random effect than I'd expect when writing to the same locations each time but maybe not.

Re: 7704A - Noise on sine-wave traces
Do not do anything. There is one beam.? It has to be "borrowed" to write the readouts. There are two ways: 1) Borrow the beam when it's needed.? This chops tiny holes in the trace.? it's going to

Re: tek 2430a vs tek 2430
Hi, Yes, they are different. The 2430A is more in line with the 2432 and 2440. The 2430 (not A) even has a different front panel. Check right below the horizontal speed knob, the A version has more
