  1. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Kaylin says:

    If your signal generator was set to 1000.0001 then the counter would probably have that last 1 going to 2 or 0 instead of all those zeros turning to nines.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bob Darlington says:

    That's a superb counter for some things. Dabbling in Time-Nuttery is addicting.

    Saw older versions of these in the 90s when I was in the military.

    I hope you enjoy your new toys!

    Crazy score! I did a video adding a cheap third party ovenised oscillator to mine, video 647. Worth it.

    Nice Score

    I'm an analytical chemist, I use some of the newest Agilent HPLC and GC models (amongst other kit) on a daily basis. These modules are foreign to me, yet also familiar; button shapes, fonts used, colour scheme, modular designs etc.
    I'm a big fan of Agilent kit!

    WELCOME TO NEAR-PRESENT DAY TECH!!!

    You may need to get a 10Mhz reference Oscillator to get them all in sync.

    All together I guess this is a $20,000 gift. Fran you deserve it!

    Check for leaky electrolytics. Especially on the power supply!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars thinkph4t says:

    That is a serious piece of test gear! I have one, it is crazy fast and precise. Far more accurate than the 53131a. With an OCXO timebase it is easily worth a thousand dollars or more. If it's in half decent nick. Any time nut will lick their drool off the table 😂

    Kudos to Matt!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Torby 4096 says:

    Just beware if I ever send you a box🤪

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Coyle says:

    Oh-Oh Frans going digital. I thought you was an analogue kinda gal!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Per Westermark says:

    Note that these instruments are calibrated after reaching operating temperature. Not sure what Agilent might specify but probably like 30 minutes powered on.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alpine says:

    I would kill to get equipment like that 😮

    I like the little rubber foot on the bottom of the long PCB, with associated silkscreen outline. No breeze flapping here! I know some other devices which could have used those…
