Electronics test/lab equipment list
When not specified, this equipment was obtained for free or very cheap.
Working equipment:
- Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope, bought new for approx. 400€
- Hacked to get effectively a DS1104Z
- 100MHz, 1Gsps, 4 channels
- Hameg HM203-6 oscilloscope
- 20MHz, analog, 2 channels
- Component tester built in, actually a curve tracer
- Hameg HM8011-3 multimeter
- 4.5 digits
- Volts ranges from 0.2V to 2000V, AC/DC
- Ohms ranges from 200 to 20M
- Amps ranges from 0.2mA to 10A
- Hameg HM8030-3 signal generator
- 14mHz to 2MHz, sinus, square and triangle
- Up to 10V amplitude, ±5V DC offset
- FM modulation
- Racal-Dana 9235 Power supply
- 0-35V, 0-10A lab power supply
- Not upgraded, but could speak over IEEE-488 or RS-232 with the upgrade
- Keithley 192 programmable multimeter
- has a ~5nA leak in the input stage, leading to a drift in some cases
- 6.5 digits multimeter with VAC, VDC, Ohms
- Keithley 6517A electrometer
- Homemade triaxial cable
- VFD screen is fading, may be a good idea to use over serial
- Seems to drift in voltage mode, may be due to the open input circuit
- 6.5 digits, Down to 10aA resolution (1e-17)
- Measures up to 210TΩ
- Keithley 2000 Multimeter
- 6.5 digits multimeter but way more capable than the 192
- Bought for ... not cheap
- HP 3455A Multimeter
- 5.5 digits multimeter, not as good as the 2000 but quite the collectible
- Just ended up on the pile of HP stuff
HP 5352A Microwave frequency counter
- 10Hz to 80MHz at 1MΩ, 525MHz at 50Ω, standard stuff
- Up to 40GHz (!) from the RF connector
- HP 5300B Measuring system, fitted with HP5303B Counter
- 80MHz at 1MΩ, 525MHz at 50Ω, again, standard
- Way more manageable size than the 5352A, can run on 11-24V DC or line power
- Tritron TS-1102 Frequency counter
- Super compact ! Metal shell ! And bubble LED display !
- Not a single result when searching for documentation, maybe homemade ?
- HP 8654A Signal Generator
- 10-520Mhz, sine wave only
- +10dBm down to -120dBm
- AM and FM modulation, internal/external (pirate radio yeaaah !)
- Old school tuning dial and power meter
- HP 6227B Dual DC power supply
- 0-25V, 0-2A dual lab power supply
- Can operate in tracking (series only ?) or independant mode
- Right channel is a bit slow to start, may require a routine recap
- Super fast shutdown !
May require fixes:
- HP 3325A function synthesizer
- Power button cap missing, power button itself needs replacement
- VERY LOUD FAN
- UNTESTED, powers up and passes all self-tests
- Optional OCXO reference (not installed)
- 11 digits resolution
- Sine wave up to 61MHz, square up to 11MHz, ramps up to 10kHz, all down to 1uHz with 1uHz resolution
- Integrated sweeps
- Tektronix 7704A
- 200MHz, 7000 series scope, 4 bays
- No visible readout, maybe option 1 ?
- With plugins:
- 7A12, 120MHz dual-trace amplifier
- 7A13, 100MHz differential comparator, with LED display
- 7A19, 600MHz 50Ω amplifier; most likely defective but trivial to fix
- 7A24, 400MHz 50Ω dual-trace amplifier
- 7A26, 200MHz 1MΩ dual-trace amplifier
- 7B52, 100MHz dual time base with XY support; some stuck switches
- 7B92, 500MHz dual time base
- 7D11, 50MHz digital delay
- 016-0155-00, empty slot dust cover
- Usual configuration: 7A26, 7A12, 7D11, 7B92
- Fluke/Philips PM5138
- Waveform/modulation works fine
- Output amplifier is broken, the amplitude seems stable random when changed
- HP 3312A Function generator
- 1-10k ranges don't work, 100k and above do
- Modulation works fine, and waveforms do too
- HP 3438A Digital Multimeter
- Need calibration for about everything
- Resistance measurament is busted
- AC amps is busted
- Philips PM 2434 DC-Microvoltmeter
- Fully analog, even the +/- display
- Impressive dynamic range, from 10µV to 1kV full scale (160dB !)
- Definitely needs repairs, it does a weird whine sound when plugged in, that gets louder and louder while the needle gets further right
- This one scares me
- This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
