The manual for the 5335a specifies its external timebase input as being 1000Ω (http://www.dennlec.com/images/manuals/hp-5335a-op-manual.pdf). Maybe not "high", but it's certainly not 50. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
