I have FireFox as well, so I tried Rex's suggestion and it worked fine. I might comment that it apparently now integrates directly into FireFox as a plugin and once installed required no further action other than just entering the link. Thanks Rex! Daun -Original Message- From: [EMAIL P

Hi Alberto The right-click method works if you are reading in a browser (I just tried it using SquirrelMail). However, I couldn't do that using LookOut (OutLook). Fortunately, Rex's method also works, so there are at least two ways to circumvent the problem. Daun -Original Message- From:

Hi Jim I'm wondering that if we were to find an example of a known "good" unit as well as a bad one, that we could look at the EPROMS to determine any defenses and then clone the good ones. That would be one way to save David if he gets a "bad" one. Daun -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Gee, now you've got me wondering. I remember we used the TI chip for some things and Motorola for some others, but don't remember who the other was. Wasn't the Phi chip the HP version? I also remember that the HP 9825 was the "standard" by which all other 488 devices were compared. If it worked

RE: [time-nuts] 10811 serial numbers

2005-05-26 Thread Daun Yeagley
I think the numbering scheme was changed a few years ago. The 2850 tells us it was built in 1988 (28 years after 1960). I think this portion has been dropped, perhaps when the spin-off from HP happened. I lost track of that in my last few years there. The A (in both cases) signifies that it was

Hi David You have hit on the exact reason the 5370 has a binary transfer mode. This mode essentially transfers the bits directly from the counter hardware to the bus. Remember this counter was designed and built quite a few years ago, and the processor in it is rudimentary at best by today's stan

Indeed the *major* problem is doing all that processing. I'm sure there are more bytes involved using ASCII as well (I don't recall the numbers for each format), but that part is lost in the added processing time. Daun -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I remember in the late 90's when HP/Agilent's call center was just getting up and running, that they were looking for a lot of the older manuals. And the reason for that is that I distinctly remember in the early 90's there was an edict that came down from corporate that we didn't need all those co

Hi Bob The "ET" designation was generally used for production test, special demo boxes, or other similar uses. My guess is that it was an "in house" unit, and using what was called the "next bench syndrome" may have indeed been the inspiration for the regular production amps. Daun -Original

Agilent also now has a USB to GPIB converter. Of course it's several hundred dollars also, and uses the Agilent I/O libraries. Not sure, but I think that it only supports Windoze. I'll check with some of my buddies that survived to see it that's the case. Daun -Original Message- From:
