Re: Spurious signals on TDS794D - Repair help needed.
I'm reviving this thread, because I seem to have a very similar issue and am not sure how to progress.
This is a 754D that had a plethora of errors, most of which got solved by replacing SRAMs

Re: 492 has no 110 MHz IF
Continuing my diary of 492P woes in case it's helpful to some other poor schlub reading the archives in future.
At least one version of the service manual says you can replace select resistor

Interleaved.
Nope.? The address switches on the instrument control the address (much like I2C does it).
HPIB has three functions, all of which can be separate: listener, talker, controller.? For

Re: TDS 5xx debug port
Perfect! Thanks a bunch for all that info!
I also am a bit miffed that Tek nerfed their forums, there was good info there, they could have at least archived it.....

Thank you for elaborating on the topic. It's really useful to put some good
detail and get a better understanding of the general rules and mechanisms
of the protocol. Steve - thank you

Re: TDS 5xx debug port
Tek really messed up when they killed the old site. Maybe if more people complained (I did, a bit) they would backtrack ?
I dumped all my notes and screenshots to my website,

Re: GPIB workflow
GPIB doesn't have the concept of a "connection". Each device sets its own address, sometimes via DIP switches, sometimes, via front panel commands, etc., but that instrument "knows" its own address.

Re: GPIB workflow
The address is selected in the scope (like most other instruments) and you don't have to reboot if you change it.
If you have National Instruments GPIB hardware you can try and play with this

Wolfgang the original Tektronix relays can often be reworked, eg exercise contacts or clean with Iso alcohol, contact cleaner and paper strip.

Re: GPIB workflow
Thank you, Harvey.
If I understand correctly, you're saying that the # GPIB connection may
"port" another, "hot swapped" instrument to the same # GPIB?
I got impatient after posting this and thought

Re: GPIB workflow
The 488 bus is an addressed bus, which means recognizing an address on a bus and having something respond (think I2C for an example).
So when you hot swap instruments, assuming that you don't glitch

GPIB workflow
Hi all,
As I'm exploring GPIB in my environment on multiple instruments, a newbee question - is GPIB essentially hot swappable?
Differently put, can I typically just hook it up to an instrument

Hi Peter,
No problem, your are not encouraging me. This only gives me more energy to sort this out.
Could you give me the ID to set with U3 for the TDS640 which you have in your table?
