I am hoping to buy a SR620 from a seller who is not familiar with the instrument, but who
1) Has knowledge of electronic test equipment in general. 2) Is willing to test the SR620 before an international shipment. This puts me in a somewhat better position than typicall eBay sale with comments such as a) "Comes from a working environment" or b) "Plugged it in and it lights up". I gave the seller a link to the manual and asked him to 1) run the autocal procedure described on page 18 of the manual (page 33 of the PDF) 2) Do at least the front panel tests on page 61 (page 77 of the PDF), plus any other he could do - it is unreasonble to expect him to do them. He wrote back and said "I tried to run that test, but the unit never registered itself as being warmed up. I waited about two hours with the calibration switch in both positions. Do you know anything about these?" I am a bit confused by his comment. Can anyone understand what he may mean, or suggest how one might verify the instrument can be tested? As far as I can see from the manual, there's no indication when the oven is warm. The instrument has the high stability timebase option.
