Re: Interesting PSU problem with a 246x unit
Argh! When in doubt, believe the Tek manual. I read that a 2 ohm load was sufficient, resulting in 2.5A draw. Wrong. Added a second 2 ohm on the options line (because the fusing on the 2 exposed +5VD

How to remove delay time position knob and pot on a 465?
I need to remove the delay time knob and pot from a 465. Getting the inner knob off looks easy (as soon as the .050" Allen bit gets here from Amazon). How do I remove the outer part of the knob, and

Re: SG502 Repair
A further note on this - Jared, you're spot on with your observation on the color mismatch, and such a pertinent point to make. I assume, as LEDs are pretty "narrowband" light emitting devices, the

Re: Tek 577 unable to display more than 5 steps
I agree checking pin 7 of U350 is a good idea. That said pin 1 of U350A is the output of a unity gain amplifier summing in a DC voltage and should not have any steps. It should reflect the same DC

Re: 2467 Boot Error Message
It is absolutely important to do CAL 06! You should be able to see the flaws on any high speed square wave input. If you have a PG506, it will definitely show the flaws. You can get most of the way

Hi Nigel, In Test 02, all of the error codes listed are unique orthogonal values. I don't recall what happens if more than one switch is stuck, but I am pretty sure that the scanning matrix used for

Re: Tek 577 unable to display more than 5 steps
The step generator looks OK, the step amplifier has a problem. Take some more measurements at U350 pins 1 and 7. Are there more steps present there?

Tek 577 unable to display more than 5 steps
Dear All, I am struggling with this unit for some time. The waveform at TP305 is correct, according to the manual. However I can not obtain more than 5 steps at TP-306. I have checked the voltage at

Re: 2467 Boot Error Message
I guess my issue was not appreciating the mix of digital values and analog values, something that would never have occured to me; my brain thinks in either one *or* the other. Just for the hell of it

I guess my next question is.... is it worth re-doing CAL 06 using the equipment that I do have rather than accepting nominal values? In the absence of a TD Pulser, I have the following TM50x modules:-
