Got some TE last week but no time to play.
First was the Fluke 8060A. As expected dim segments but otherwise OK. I'll do the zebra strip later. It appears that I have SIX 8060As Four working (inc. new one) one for repair and one parts unit.
The one for repair has a round green sticker on it. It was my first 8060A I've had it well over 25 years. Like a lot of the early ones it suffered from display "bleed". I bought a new LCD with upgrade kit from Fluke years ago. It was one of the last, if not the last, one they had in the UK. This was of course long before the 8060A became popular. The spares unit was missing the LCD when I got it.
I've stuck a few sets of electrolytics for 8060A in my Farnell basket and will order them tomorrow.
Another package arrived today. A set of Hirschmann "micro" DMM leads. Kit part No. PMS0,94. Clearly unused and originally supplied by Farnell these cost £40 a set. No other bids on ebay at 99P start and £2.99 postage. CGot to be a winner ;D

Now I need to find a way to recuperate the 37$ I spent to create a company. I'm thinking of passing all the TEA purchases on the company for tax purpose ;D

I'd say that you should request those specific end use criteria documents; their process should require that they provide that reference. Unless you can't be arsed to pursue any further, of course. ;) mnem Bureaucracy is just another word for "Fuck you."

Nahhh i'm done with them already. I don't have the time for that crap.

I hear that. I've updated my post in the What Did You Buy Today? thread with a brief recounting of this development:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/what-did-you-buy-today-post-your-latest-purchase!/
If that's too much detail, lemme know and I'll edit.
Thanks again for hookin' a dwagon up, tho! :-+

Ah, OK. :)
Anyways, ditch the manuals for now until you need dive into some of the more advanced stuff and start swatting up on most of its functionality here:

This is about a SDS1202X-E, same as bd139 has, and the UI is very similar to your new Siglent LeCroy albeit yours has some more advanced features.....AWG, PA sorta stuff.

Thanks for the resources... yeah, it's a bit daunting. Tho I do wanna get into the AWG features, since my little cheapie UTG962E appears to have developed a fuckeroo on channel 2 since I packed it up in the GWN. Up until now I've been utterly amazed at the bang/buck of the thing; but a 2 year life cycle is not a good review point. :palm:
Like I said before when someone asked for a recommendation... if I were looking for a new scope, I'd probably let you sell me one. I weren't looking with this one, but you still managed to sell me on it. :-DD
Thanks! :-+
