Thank you for your tip., Bob. The "strange" thing is that my cheap Solartron 7045 multimeter shows few uV of AC residual with the input shorted, while the...
Hi Marcello, The AC section of the HP3456A is broadband enough to show readings from transmitters in the AM broadcast band. The AC section of the HP3456A is...
Thanks John and others for your responses. I think I'll get the 180E and give it a go, knowing I can get back to the group if I run into problems with the...
Hi Chuck, thank you too for your advices. Yes, you're right: the Solartron is a low-end machine, and its averaging AC capabilities are a not similar. As for...
Hi Marcello, One other thing comes to mind. On these high precision meters, it matters whether the unit is being powered with 50Hz, or 60Hz. The 3478A has a...
... Yikes! You should check out where all the noise is coming from then! Those readings are way higher than I would expect. Usually we record maximums of about...
Does anyone have any 1345A's they would like to sell? That is my first question. Second is does anyone know what the difference between the 1345A and the...
John, Chuck, thank you. I'm a bit confused: does anyone has at his hands such a multimeter (or a similar one) to give me an idea about VAC (not VDC) residual...
My HP 3455 measure ,in AC ,0.000165 volt with input bindingposts short circuit with a piece of wire. thanks Helge. ... -- Helge Kyndbo Schrumsvej 16 DK-5700...
Hi all, I have just purchased an HP 16500A with a 16510B module and three 16542A modules to replace my dear old Tektronix 1240's. Basically I bought the ...
Hi friends, I've bought on Ebay for a few bucks a HP 3312 waveform generator , but now I need the manual to repair it. I know that the pdf manual exists so if...
I have the following surplus to requirements : 1/ 1968 Instrumentation Catalogue - Spine is dog chewed, inside pristine. 2/ 1981 Measuerment/Computation - Good...
Helge, Brian, thank you for the benchmark! I've performed the AC stage deeper calibration, and now the short circuit value is about 170uV, i.e. the AC stage...
My Fluke 8860A reads 124 uV with inputs shorted. The reading is quite stable too. It displayed this at power up (less than a minute) and still displays the...
Hi, friends. I'm an Agilent marketing guy, and one current focus is web support for older instruments. I'd like to ask your help in improving how we do this....
Dave You have my support, and thanks for asking. It would be an honor to lend a manual to you to get it scanned in and posted. I think you'll find others will...
... * For many of us the service manuals are the real gold. * Users/programming manuals would be great. * Copies of software would be wonderful, such as board...
Hi Dave, Thanks for asking! This is yet another example of why we love HP/Agilent equipment. ... I would disagree. Service manuals are more important. By...
Agreed, I would place paramount importance on service manuals. The ops manuals tend to be smaller and easier to scan or copy, so their availability doesn't...
... Congratulations, this is the type of spirit that made HP a great company in the past and a great place to work as well. You have my full support as well. I...
Dave I appreciate your interest in older T & M gear. As far as marketing of new gear goes usually a younder user is forced by economics to go with older gear....
... As a professional (in a small way) dealing with HP/Agilent equipment, as well as an amateur maintaining my (and a few friends) older HP kit, and an Amateur...
Hi Dave! Just another vote that the service manuals are #1 priority. They are a treasure trove of electronic theory and circuit design insight that the reader...
