Calibration
First post & maybe this is OT and if so please delete it. I am looking for the calibration procedure for a: *Amprobe 37XR-A? DMM.* When I check it on my calibration source, everything is good but the

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
Great idea. I have the 5004 somewhere. A lot of instruments fall back to signature analysis when troubleshooting gets tough. Sometimes the person writing the manual cant tell you how the circuit

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
Thanks, I shall look into it, but it'll be a while before I get to do much, working on regularizing the driver structure in a project.? Hmmm, state machine, VHDL, IEEE-488? Harvey

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
I have a 308, so it's more of an interesting problem that may be of value to others. 308s are probably the cheapest way to get an SA, but it is difficult to find one with all of the probes for

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
aul, I see Tek 308s are selling for $99 or best offer with free shipping on that infamous site.? Are required accessories the expensive issue, or is it the $99? Bruce, KG6OJI

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
It's for anything you can structure as an FSA. The tool itself is language agnostic and there are templates for C, C++, java, php, rex, sql, bash, awk and even cobol among others. It is not difficult

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
Hi, Very interested in updates please. I would like to build one as I have an HP signal generator that I have been unable to debug as I don't have a signature analyser. Thanks, Andrew

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
I'm aware of that. I do not see open source documentation on how to build it. I could buy it from them and, when they go out of business or stop supporting it, you're sol. -- Paul Amaranth, GCIH |

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
Nice to see the responses. I knew everyone would put up their favorite processor, but I use ATMegas a lot in embedded projects. They're cheap, available and convenient. I also have a closet full of

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
Paul, That is cool, Yes I am interested in updates. I recently purchased a Vector Labs Signature analyser. I have not got around to testing it out. But I have a pile of HP iron that needs repairing.

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
BTW, I should add that even though I can't find a use for a Signature Analyzer, I do love the concept of S.A. Recently I wire-wrapped a 15-bit LFSR using DTL and early-TTL chips that date from the

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
Yes, S.A. today is only useful in extremely rare cases. For working on older equipment, you need the known-good signatures, and the ability to create the necessary conditions. With newer equipment,

Re: Open Source Signature Analyzer
While I have a 308 and a 5005B, I'd be interested in it for general principles.? Since I have available a decent STM32 infrastructure (still in development, of course), I'd likely duplicate the TTL

Open Source Signature Analyzer
At odd moments over the last couple years I've been working on a cheap, easy to build design for a signature analyzer to be more or less comparable to the HP 5004a or Tek 308. I plan on making the
