Does the FE-5680A have a similar Rb cell to the LPRO-101?
If so do they have finite lamp life, (can you find the one you buy
has little life left?)
Or by not reporting the status of the lamp no-one worries about it?

I think every Rb has a finite lamp life...

It has been pretty well shown that the lamp life is
effectively infinite. The only thing that happens to
shorten an effective useful campaign of the lamp is
when the Rb plates out on the lamp envelope, and
renders the glass opaque. That problem, however, is
easily remedied, by heating the glass
Yes, of course, in that sense: the life must be restored at some time.

Chuck Magnus and others will tell you the same reheat the lamp to evaporate
the Rb. I have done it also and it puts it right back in the mid range of
life. Voltage wise. No way to know if it might plate out quicker with age.
The Rb reference were built with a finite life expectation 7 years I
With mine due to arrive soon, I have some questions.
1. Will it work on 12 volts instead of 15?
2. Is the serial i/o really RS-232 or something else
3. Is there a command list?
4. Which pinout list is correct?

My bet is no as there is an internal regulator that likely needs headroom
2. Is the serial i/o really RS-232 or something else
There is a Max rs232 level converter
