Yes, I have downloaded them for the PTS 160, 500, 3200 and X10 and you are correct, all those synthesizers share the same basic principles and maybe some modules, but I found that the frequencies involved are not the same. -------------------- Hi Ignacio You might also want to download the manual for the PTS310 from Didier's site, that and the PTS160 manual probably incorporate most of the variations that matter. --------------------- The problem with mine is that it shows frequency errors at some settings and when it happens the generated signal shows bad spectral purity. Maybe a module went mistuned due to a component aging or failure and having the right manual while is not a must it would be very helpfull. --------------------- I've not owned a PTS040 so am not familiar with its structure, but my guess is it will either include a bank of DM1000 modules for steps below 100KHz as per the PTS160 or a fine resolution section similar to the PTS310. If it includes a bank of DM1000 modules, possibly DM2000 modules if a later unit, these should all be interchangeable and, assuming none are faulty can be swapped around without causing any functional problems. The modules plug in and are retained with three screws from below. You then have the option of swapping DM1000 modules around to try and isolate the fault to a particular module or could perhaps identify the likely module by looking for a pattern in those settings where the problem occurs. This, of course, assumes that the problems are occurring at switch settings for increments below 100KHz. If the problem seems to be associated with higher increment switching the substitution option no longer applies but there are then less modules to worry about. If the PTS040 uses a fine resolution section that does make life a bit more awkward but, as I commented earlier, it's possible that the PTS310 manual might then be of assistance. I might be able to be a bit more specific if you could send me a list of the module numbers fitted, or perhaps some high res photos of top and bottom views with the covers off, and perhaps an idea of any pattern to the problem frequencies? regards Nigel GM8PZR _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
