--- Quote from: Vince on June 28, 2022, 11:07:18 am ---Yep no Megazoom if just I guess because with 2GS/s sampling, 10 times more than a Megazoom, it would have required too much memory for the day, and more importantly I guess so much ASIC performance that it would have been either cost prohibitive even for high end HP stuff customers, if even at all technically achievable at the time. That's where I will concede the modern scopes a clear advantage. Technology/performance has improved to the point where you can have both high BW / sampling rate, and deep memory at the same time, and you can set the trade-off between the two on the fly as you require, to suit the job at hand as best as possible. High time resolution versus high refresh rate to find rare events. That's the main selling point to me, if I were to ever be in a position to be able to spend money on a modern scope. That, then next selling point to me is the large wide aspect ratio screens that give you a lot more real estate to see your signals. --- End quote --- Same exact gripe I have about the Tek TDS2x0... yeah, sure it has allegedly 1GS/s rate... but 2.5Kpts depth. Utterly useless. My 54600A has almost twice that and only 200MS/s rate... that is a much better match, but it is still under the bench rather than on it. mnem |

I can’t take it due to delivery constraints. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165551587078 --- End quote --- Looks like somebelly already glommed it. Who was it? Fess up! :-DD mnem "Oh my... here come those dear, sweet :-BROKE again..." |

I filled their form and pretty sure it's going to pass now :) --- End quote --- I guess they didn't like "retired" for company name. :D Add this to the paperwork. :-DD |

--- Quote from: McBryce on June 28, 2022, 07:41:36 am ---So I printed the PH-163 casing. Fit's perfectly and seems relatively safe to use, but the creator neglected to mention which terminals he used. Has anyone an idea what terminals would fit the PH-163 pins? Or what terminals these are in his picture? https://3dmixers.com/m/268285-ph-163-connector-hp-oval- McBryce. --- End quote --- The original listing on Thingiverse has a "Additional Parts" list: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4862134 It calls for: --- Quote from: Thingiverse Thing #4862134 --- * a NEMA cable with ground (I salvaged an old monitor cable, and cut off the IEC connector) * 3 female crimp receptacles (TE model 633381-1), that can be found here and here, * a rubber grommet (1/4 inch inside diameter), I got these, and * 2 socket head m3 capscrews 10mm long and associated nuts --- End quote --- mnem :-/O |
