Electronics Forum / Equipment / April 2004

I use a HP 5316A counter to count the output of a particle detector.
The counter is controlled from Labview through GPIB.
Everything works well with the exception that I don't know how to clear
(zero) the counter through GPIB (what pushing the RESET/LOCAL button on

I have an ICS Electronics GPIB card and I'm using the Quick Basic
libraries that came with it to code a program that captures a section
of the displayed trace.  The scope is a Tectronix TDS-210.
The first version of the program used the RS-232 port and I was

We lost the cord with the plug for the AC Adaptor charger of our
portable dvd player.  Does anyone know of a company which would sell
just the cord?  According to the manual, the charger is DC9V, 2A.   We
just lost the cord with the plug where one end goes into the black box

Due to some rather annoying industrial ground loop problems
(piping potential is far away from the network PE) we would
need a mains isolation transformer:
- 115 Vac : 115 Vac / 60 Hz

Congrats.  I haven't yet seen the E3610s and E3611s go for less than a
hundred, so your bid of $114 was about right. See Item number 3809704182

Howdy everyone,
I'm looking for a spectrum analyzer to help me with the design of an audio
DAC, specifically the design of the dc power rails and the effects of the
Murata high value ceramic capacitors. Of course I'm looking for an

I am in the UK.  Recently I moved my 19 inch Sony TV to another
room.  When I switched it on in its new location the TV had a
colour fringe about two inches wide on the right hand side from the
top to almost the bottom.

When I was a teenager, I purchased a Weller 8200 dual-heat (100/140
watt) soldering gun. It served me well over the years. Then about ten
years ago, I went through a period where I didn't need to do any
soldering and decided to give it away as part of "uncluttering". (I

I know a bit about low voltage stuff, but I want to change the LOPT in an
Eizo/Nanao monitor.
I know the LOPT is faulty, as it arcs and pops when the monitor is running,
and after much effort, I've found a spare.

I looked around but nowhere I whas able to find a schematic of a
differantial probe.
It's main use is to measure with a scope on smpsu's and the like.
I know we can remove the ground lead from the scope, but where then is the

I am curious to hear from anyone with experience transferring from cassette
tape to DAT.  I am also seeking info on transferring from DAT to CD.
I have a Sony TCD-D7.  Thanks.

Does anyone know of an affordable source for HP power sensor cable plugs
(cable type number 11730 to connect HP848x sensors). It looks like DIN plugs
but they are significantly different.

I recently bought one of those cute key-fob LED flashlights at K-Mart.
The brand name is Coleman, and the flashlight is flat and shaped like
one of their typical Coleman lanterns. It cost $3.49 and runs on two
CR2016 (3V lithium) disk batteries (6V total). There's a resistor

Hello people,
I need to interface my Tektronix TDS3054B with my PC so that i can
obtain the data from the screen to my PC. I don't need anything fancy
- i just need the information from the 4 channels, that's all. I have
