https://www.febo.com/pipermail/time-nuts/2017-March/104374.html The -2500 supply is nearly identical to the +3500 supply. We will post some photos on the disassembly process. We also had to disassemble the +3,500 supply because the 200 Meg resistor had gone up in value. It showed only 1,900 V

I don't know how they're done in VMWare, but in VirtualBox, you have to setup the USB configuration for the VM before you start it.  You just click the machine, settings, then USB, then add a device, then select from what's available.  Which means you have to have it plugged in and enumerated fi

Hi Eventually you will want multiple inputs to any chip like this. The more I/o the more crosstalk. Properly done, differential inputs will reduce your crosstalk quite a bit. You might as well debug that part of it now. Bob > On Mar 27, 2017, at 9:05 AM, Attila Kinali wrote: > > Hi, > > We

Hi, Attila! Somewhere you'll have to produce sharp differential edges and this semi-analogue stuff is probably hard on a chip shared with thousands of other gates and a digital process. Going differentially into the chip will reduce the effects of ground bounce etc a lot. This is what you can ex

John, Thanks for the reply. I'm obviously missing something as I can't see the GPIB-USB-B or the ethernet connected GPIB-ENET. It's really as simple as going to aquire->HP5371/5372 and the interfaces should be in the list, correct? Thanks, Bob On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 6:42 PM, John Miles wrot

Try running the 32-bit version (timelab.exe) instead of timelab64.exe, even if the VM supports 64-bit execution. That can sometimes help with compatibility. -- john, KE5FX Miles Design LLC > -Original Message- > From: time-nuts [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Bob > Bown
