Hi Dan, I have an original HP 3.5" floppy disk with the CK5071A.EXE tool. Contact me off-list. See pages 61-65 of the 5071A Assembly-Level Service Manual (05071-90040) for what it does and how to run it. I have not checked the HP / Agilent / Symmetricom / Microsemi web sites to see if this old tool is still part of their downloads. It was written in the early 90's and runs on DOS.
Note that most of what it reports is available through the front panel menu/LCD system, or the SYST:PRINT? SCPI command. IIRC the tool only applies to 5071A that are operational, so it's not helpful for the typical DOA 5071A you find on eBay. A better diagnostic, especially for a failing or broken 5071A, is to set the log mode to VERBOSE or SERVICE and capture all the output from the RS232 port during power-up. This is especially useful for failed CBT since you can watch the firmware trying hard to get a signal from a dead or sick tube. When the LCD reports nothing more than "fatal error", this verbose log output shows you everything that lead up to that conclusion. /tvb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Rae" <dan...@verizon.net> To: <time-nuts@febo.com> Sent: Saturday, May 23, 2015 12:48 PM Subject: [time-nuts] 5071A profiling software disk? > Can anyone share the contents of this disk please?
