Re: Tektronix 2465b scope

 

Why not?? U800 is just a 24 Pin DIP, of course it can be replaced, I've done dozens of them.


Re: TM5003 fan noise / fan replacement

 

Is it possible your fan is bad.? Those AC fans just use bronze bearings which can get loud when they dry out.
I cringe a little when loud fans are simply replaced with quite ones as if that is the only parameter that is important.
You need to think about airflow also.
Look for an AC fan with similar airflow and find the quietest one.

I'm interested but despite going through the help section I have no idea how to PM you.

Re: Tek in the movies

 

It's a prop in many movies, the 1980 made-for-TV adaptation of The Lathe of Heaven has a scope that I think was a Tek. In one of the Teminator sequels there's a 500 series just incidentally, the video for Benny Benassi's Cinema also has one.

Re: TDS460 - time to boot

 

I have 2 TDS460A scopes. they both take quite some time to boot.? I have not timed them, but 1 minute sounds about right.?


Re: TDS460 - time to boot

 

Sorry, it actually also is a 460A. And indeed it has option 13 and 1M. It sounds like it's in good shape?

Hi all,
I recently repaired a TDS460, but I am a bit taken aback by its about 1 minute 10 seconds boot time to fully up - is this normal? My HP 54522A takes a mere maybe a dozen seconds to being able to perform measurements.?
Once up, everything functions perfectly and in spec. The only less than ideal thing I am aware of is one of the internal batteries is not in best shape (the other one is good).?
Thank you,

WVR500 control part number or modification?

 

WVR500 controls are easy to break was there a modification or part number of a replacement?
ever released?

Re: [TekScopes] Fast edge pulse generator ...

 

Risetime and BW are related but NOT the same!

Read the TEK Vertical amplifier circuit concepts book.

Your choice Depends on the desired max RT/BW being tested.

We found the Best is the Leo Bodnar 40 pS pulser, L/60


The old TEK TD pulsers TU-5 or 152-0254-01 sometimes show at ham fleas or epay. Blown TD can be replaced with Russian clones.
Needs a 50..100 V (slow rise) input drive.

TEK PG506 CAL gen has a fast pulse output.

Uses TM500/5000 mainframe.

Beware that ANY cable/connector/adapter between the PG out and scope 50 Ohm in WILL affect the RT and BW.

We directly attach Leo B BNC to the scope set at 50 Ohm.

Rather than any cables, we use several BNC elbows, Tees, MM, FF adapters if needed.

NO probes should be used!

Hi, I am trying to put together a test device to check the BW of my scopes.

Can anyone suggest a simple module or design that would do the deed
without costing the earth ??

I probably need a rise-time of < 1ns.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

For ~300ps into 50ohms, have a look at??

To get a reasonable edge, decoupling is critical.

Another simple alternative is the "cal out" generator in Tek 485s, at under 1ns.
?


Re: [TekScopes] Fast edge pulse generator ...

 

The Leo is about the best thing going off the shelf and comes validated on his 11801. A 284 is also good but I? still waiting on doing an aliment on those for the lab. The 70ps edges are hard to deal with.?

Anything sub 1ns is going to get interesting. And the further down in the ps the goal is the more exotic things will get.
