John,
The battery nominal voltage is 3.0VDC it's a BR-2/3A

Oh I did not realize it had batteries in it. I need to check mine or whats
left of it.
Always seemed to take a while to come up.

I had a problem with a Z3801A GPSDO. I added a backup battery to the
Motorola Oncore VP receiver, so it could store GPS satellite almanacs
(makes the unit come up a lot faster from an unpowered state). I used
common 1.5 volt AA alkaline batteries, two in series to the receiver.
Worked great.
You might want to look at the Downeast Microwave Distribution

Hi,
We have more expensive distribution amps around the production facility
here at RAKON than I'd care to count, and always seem to need more. I am
looking for additional units as the requirements expand, something like
the Symmetricom 4036B which we already use. Our need is for 10MHz
distribution
Suggest a 100K thats 33 ua and at least 10 to 60 X more then the memory
draws.
Memories in standby draw 1 ua or even far less these days.
The fact that the battery is at 3.44 and 3.2 suggests it may be fine.
I just repaired the front panel of a sig gen and the diode was shorted
draining the battery
Certainly could be, but it seems a reasonable first thing to check before
tearing into the unit.
FWIW,

I expect that it is a Lithium cell, so the voltage is correct. Although,
testing it with a 1K load may not be fair as in real service I believe they
only provide microamps. Regards - Mike

So.I see no way in which one could determine with precision when life
ends. At least not with the precision that this group would consider even
minimally acceptable.
Hi everyone!
My SR620 is giving me an error 3 on power up. The manual says it's most
likely a dead backup battery.
I can clear it if I hold down the reset button while powering up. (This
loads the factory defaults into the RAM.)
However if I cycle power the error 3 comes back!

Mike is correct. Brain activity does not screech to a halt but peters out
over a period of minutes once the heart stops beating.
When we (I'm in the medical field and not, by any stretch of the imagination
an engineer) speak of someone being "brain dead" or "flat line EEG," we
don't really mean t
As usual, it seems I was incorrect. At least in the US legal system,
clinical death is considered to be the cessation of blood flow due to
heart failure and similar due to breathing having stopped. This,
apparently, means one can be brain dead but still considered to be
alive. Thinking about it now
