Re: Coax BNC Cable Termination
Also keep in mind that a 1 MHz square wave needs at least 10 MHz of
error-free bandwidth, preferably more, to come out looking right. With a
sine wave, you might never have noticed the problem.

Re: Tek 585
Dear Urs:
You certainly were not criticizing, but I was not trying to say that. I
guess, it is a bona fide misunderstanding. I was trying to lend historical
perspective, that comes from, err...

Re: Coax BNC Cable Termination
The 5 meters of cable is still 450 pF, still quite load for most drivers.

Re: Tek 585
Hello Miroslav
Excuse me, there must be a misunderstanding. I do not criticize the "Trigger Stability" control of the Tek scopes, I am just wondering why the 585 scope has no "Automatic Trigger"

Re: Coax BNC Cable Termination
Your thesis is entirely based on a 30-metre stretch of cable. However if you had carefully read my email, the lenght in question was quite inferior. A mere 5-metre chunk of cable if that

Re: Tek 585
There aren't a whole lot of plugins ever specifically built for the 585A.
Really, just the 82 and the 86. The 84 is a test plugin for the 580 series,
also known as the 067-0523-00. The type 81A

Hello Urs,
My personal opinion, after working at Tek for 26+ years, is that Tek just got tired of modifying the 585 and that is one modification they never got around to doing.

Re: Coax BNC Cable Termination
That rule of thumb is not crappy, but there is a caveat: an unterminated
cable appears as a nasty, predominantly capacitive impedance; for your
run-of-the-mill, polyethylene cable, capacitance is 30

Re: Sources for Terminations
Let us not forget that not all terminations are equal. I will take example
of few terminations that Tek supplies:
011-0049-01 is good up to 500 MHz, then 011-0099-00 good probably to 250 MHz
and then

Re: Sources for Terminations
Deane Kidd sells Tek 011-0049-01 feedthrough terminators for about $10

Probemaster has one, model 1055, that sells for about $33.
They tend to turn up in scope cart drawers and

Re: Tek 585
I'm not sure who you were directing this message to Chuck, but I do have a type 82 plug-in that may be surplus to my needs. Possibly a manual for the 585 and the 82 too, but I'd have to look.
