It would be interesting to see results of a resistance measurement of some of these "shorts" using an appropriate low-resistance instrument. Jeremy N6WFO On Sat, Nov 11, 2017 at 8:09 AM Don@True-Cal wrote: > Mark, > I would recommend duplicating the Fluke

Mark, I would recommend duplicating the Fluke 8508A-7000K 4W Short Calibration Board design. This board fits my 3458A & 3457A exactly and drops in place nicely from the top after the binding posts are opened sufficiently. I also have the banana plug style 2001-182-01B Cal Short that fits my

Mark I'm trying to imagine what you are describing - is this PCBs with 4mm banana plugs installed or a small PCB with two slots at 3/4" centres to match the socket spacing? If the latter is this intended to cover just two sockets or to short all four Force and Sense sockets together (if
