If you leave your 34401A on 10G input with nothing connected in a dry atmosphere, it is going to build up charge and trigger the autorange relay. Anti-wear-out mechanisms are certainly relevant. A similar mechnism is documented in one of the 3458A manuals. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
