CHECKSUM
I would kindly like to know, assuming I dumped correctly the CAL 02 values, if there is a sound method to verify the checksum for my scope before fiddling with the battery.
Any pointer before I get mad with X-Way forensics editor?

I found a guy that could re calibrate it for 300EUR (maybe 250, we have two scopes) so I could just avoid the hassle to change the battery myself and/or switch to FRAM. It seems it could even be a reasonable price, I don't know.

RECAPPING
Of course, if I have someone to recalibrate it, I may well think of recalibrating it AFTER recapping.

Is there any current BOM for Digikey/Mouser available?

TIA.

Old A 5 bd, battery backup, easy to change

Use EXER function to read RAM cal.values, or gpib bus f has the option

CAL requires correct test equipment, see service manual

Usually a complete Cal is required

On forums many threads on 2465/7/AB cal.

Giuseppe,

I did post a photo of the parts list for my higher s/n B model. The part prices and some parts will be different. Maybe some parts will have to have a different series due to Nichicon stopping production of some series.

What do you do with the values read from CAL/EXEC function. is there a way to enter/change them?

I am asking as I have a 2465 as well that just had 04 10 which is describes by Tektronix as just out of cal (guessing old data or checksum fails. ER1400 can hold data for 10+ years) but TBH the cost of calibration if you dont have the very specialised TMG is not worth it for a scope this age (my opinion as you can by newer versions for 3-500GBP) or go crazy old skool and aim for 4xx series IF BW is the issue.

I am for fun experimenting with reading the data out of the ER1400 (potentially replacing is if it is bad - I got like 10 spare ones). I am not too fuzzed about accuracy as I have digital never scope as well if needed).

Just curious to understand the logic behind what is stored in ER1400, checksums, etc and if it can be trigged into thinking it is calibrated and don't fail on selfcheck.

Cheers.

Jon,
many thanks but:
1) I have hopefully a good capture video of all the CAL 02 values.
2) I found a lab that claims they have all the required equipment to fully calibrate it

I was wondering:

a) if there is a method to be certain that the values I captured in video can be checked against the checksum(no GPIB card). I have found a source code for the spiral checksum but not sure how to apply to the data. Not much of a cryptologist, but still can code something.

b) assuming I will make recalibrate it in the lab (still deciding about it) I would like to recap the scope prior to recalibrate it. So I am looking for a BOM for Digikey or Mouser. a reasonably priced kit (price+customs and so on, shipped to Italy) can be a viable option.

Hope it is more clear.
