Randy, I use the GQ-4X from mcumall.com. It works great and I have had no problems with it. I have bought a few adapters to support PLCC and SOIC packages. For the NVRAM, don't overlook the STMicroelectronics memory. I have used the M48Z12 as a direct replacement.with no issues. The only thing I

Can someone recommend a good low-cost method to program the DS1220 and DS1230 NVRAMs for the HP-3458A? I downloaded the CAL contents and I need to program new NVRAM chips to replace the older (very old) NVRAMs still in the unit. Also, will the DS1220AD and DS1230AD chips work in place of the

Well that would explain a lot! Both diodes are wired with the cathode to the neon! Does it matter which one I reverse? Dave -Original Message- From: volt-nuts [mailto:volt-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Dr. Frank Sent: 07 November 2017 16:32 To: volt-nuts@febo.com Subject:

Another probable error in the manual, on page 5-8 (80), diagram, which shows the monitoring of the neon currents: That diagram is ok for the A-version, as both neon currents are measured with the same polarity in its oscillator circuit. The B-version anyhow should look different, as the

Hello Dave, in the schematic, the polarity of the diodes in series with the neon bulbs is definitely wrong. If you compare with the 3420A on page 7-7 (29), but also with the Fluke 845 which is similar, both neons have to be switched at 180°. Maybe someone else has erroneously reversed one

2017-11-07 Thread David C. Partridge
I'm trying to resurrect a 3420B. I'm looking at the waveform at TP1 on the A2 board. This is supposed to be a square(ish) wave, but within a 6mS period, there should be two cycles of the signal, one with an amplitude of (say) 150mV, and the next cycle only 100mV. I think that the larger
