[volt-nuts] Anyone got a photo of a 3458A with "new volt" printed on it?

. I'd like to try to research this, and perhaps give a talk at our radio club on it. I'd like to get a picture of a 3458A with such a sticker if I could. Dave Dr. David Kirkby Ph.D CEng MIET Kirkby Microwave Ltd Registered office: Stokes Hall Lodge, Burnham Rd, Althorne, Essex, CM3 6DT, UK.

I've got two different, but not totally unrelated questions. 1) Does anyone know what is the power consumption of the 3458A reference board? I was thinking of getting one, boxing it up with a battery, that allowed it to keep running without mains power. I would like to know the energy storage the

t using AC was a no-brainer no very low resistance measurements, but commercial instruments don't use to use AC. Dr. David Kirkby Ph.D CEng MIET Kirkby Microwave Ltd drkir...@kirkbymicrowave.co.uk http://www.kirkbymicrowave.co.uk/ Tel: 01621-680100 / +44 1621-680100 (0900 to 2100 UK time) Registe
