Hy to all, just finished the resistance check of RF Board (K2 #6995) as on page 62 of the manual. I've dne the check with two gears, an HP3478a and an Extech 470 (handheld dmm). I have different values as indicated down here:
HP R115 160 ohms (ref.is >500ohms) U6 PIN 8 290ohms (ref is >100 ohms) U4 PIN 16 3,4 K (ref is >1k) U11 PIN 8 0,7 K (ref is >250 ohms) U10 PIN 8 5,19 K (ref is >500 ohms) U12 PIN 1 0,58K (ref is >500 ohms) EXTECH R115 3,7K ohms (ref.is >500ohms) U6 PIN 8 290ohms (ref is >100 ohms) U4 PIN 16 3,4 K (ref is >1k) U11 PIN 8 1,1 K (ref is >250 ohms) U10 PIN 8 230 K (ref is >500 ohms) U12 PIN 1 2,43 K (ref is >500 ohms) You all can note the differences between the two instruments, the values are by the way between the references given by the manual except the R115 value that on the HP is only 160 ohms. I would like to assume that the HP is a better instruments than the poor handeld dmm from Extech (excellent by the way), but in this case i have perhaps the problem of a bad value of resistance on R115. Is there anyone who can makes any comment about these differences and about the bad value of R115???
