The manual of my scope does not give any pinouts. The propbe of my mixed-signal scope won't open very easily: The 40-pin connector has rivets, and the four screws on the probe side won't open the box (seems to be glued). I remember that there was a demo board when Agilent Germany sent me a scope for review. It plugged directly to the 40-pin connector and demonstrated how easy it is to find glitches with the mixed-signal scope. As far as I can remember, it was HC-TTL chips on that board (plus some resistors and capacitors). This gives two hints: a) there's a power line on that connector b) the inputs can be used directly with digital logic. I think the best way to reverse-engineer the pinout is to get one of those demo boards. Call your local Agilent office and pretend to be interested in a mixed-signal scope like the 54622D. They'll send you one for review for up to a week, and it's totally free (at least they did in Germany about 20 months ago). Once you have the result, it would be nice if you posted it here. ciao, -- Jens Sch�nfeld -- Author: Jens =?iso-8859-1?Q?Sch�nfeld?
