Hi all,
I posted the following in metrology as an addendum to a reply but didn't get any response to this particular section of the post so I thought I'd try this forum as there may be a different audience.
I have a 53132A with no options fitted. I'm most interested in incorporating a 12.4GHz frequency extender and attempted an EEPROM mod as discussed in a yahoo group. This involves removing the eeprom, replacing it with a socket, and modifying a few bytes. In the process of doing this (long story short) I didn't copy the eeprom first and when I placed it in the socket it got erased or corrupted. I conducted a cal, apart from the time interval fine, and all is OK. However......
The mod is supposed to give access to a divide by 512 but two of the code0/code1 combinations give me divide by 128 and the other two give me no ch3 fitted (the mod isn't doing anything). So either: when I corrupted the eeprom I lost some info; the software version needs to change not just the eeprom, ie the mod doesn't work for a no option counter or pre a particular software version; or the mod doesn't work (which I doubt).
Would anyone have an eeprom bin file from either a no option counter or a 12GHz option counter so I may compare what my eeprom contains (a lot of FF !!).
Also, has anyone installed a divide by 512 option into a no option counter - if so, is there more than the eeprom to get divide by 512? I'm waiting on a plcc to dip adapter to reprogram the eproms to new software. Mine has v3944, there is a v4613 about, so I might try that and see if that opens up the divide by 512.
Thanks
Greg
