Nor are many systems as easy to disable as Atari. On Pac Man Midway instructs you cut a trace or a pin to do it manually. Gorf is a similar example of what James B is refering to, it has a latch to select a section of RAM. That latch is also tied to the /RESET so you can test everything else fine by ignoring the /Resetting of the UUT but not that section of RAM.

I agree with James B, what game are you working on? But I don't agree with James B on the watchdog disable, you can configure the Fluke to ignore the watchdog. Depends on what you are doing. I do agree with his suggestion that this could be your problem (faulty watchdog). Your thinking about running the board & seeing where it crashes is better suited for a Logic Analyzer than a Fluke, since the LA may be configured to tell you the line before your crash.

I have a board that resets immediately upon power up. So, since all of the normal stuff has been checked and rechecked, I was hoping I could execute the code line by line and see when the board resets.. -----Original Message----- From: James Bright [mailto:james@quarterarcade.com] Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2004 9:45 AM To: Joe; techtoolslist(a)flippers.com Subject: RE: Fluke 9010a question No, not really.

Fluke 9010a question
by Joe 24 Jan '04

24 Jan '04

The manual can't seem to provide the answer for me or at least I cant find it in there.. So, Is there a way with the Fluke to execute code one command at a time? IE: Run UUT at 3000 and hit a button on the fluke after each op.

Archive of TTL?

Did anyone build an archive of the FTP files I had posted? I hate to admit it but I lost all my work for the past year due to a bit of idiocy...don't ask...most of my PDFs are broken...sigh... backup..backup...backup! John :-#(#

Tektronix Logic Analyzer Concepts Video Tapes
by Matt Rossiter 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

I just won a set of these on ebay. It's a 1980 edition of Logic Analyzer concepts by Tektronix. The tapes are in 3/4" format - so I'm going to get them transferred to AVI and then to DVD. I'm also going to scan in the manual and make it available online. I haven't seen the contents yet - so hopefully I'm not speaking too soon here. http://tinyurl.com/25qqd ************** Tektronix 2 Video Tapes 3/4 Inch format 1. General Purpose Logic Analyzer Concepts 2. Advanced Logic Analyzer Concepts Includes a "Logic Analyzer Concepts" manual inside the case in a 3 ring binder Has a 3 ring binder and tape holder in each cover. Over 3 inches thick ************* Anyway - I figured as long as I'm getting them transferred to DVD I could probably make copies for other people if you're interested. I have a logic analyzer and I still haven't made good use of it yet. Being the nice guy that I am - I would love to give out free copies when I'm done - but it'll cost me money and time - so I figure somewhere between $15-$20 including shipping would be a fair price for 2 DVD's. First question is, are these already available on VHS and I just don't know it? Second is, how many people would be interested in this? Rather than emailing me or the list - just go to my poll page --> http://rossiters.com/poll.html thanks!

Tecktronix 1230 logic analyzer
by Greg Baumgratz 17 Jan '04

17 Jan '04

Anyone using one of these? They are capable of 16-64 bit analysis I believe. Anyway, I just received a few P6444 active probes and a disassembly probe adater and a pod for I believe 8051s and some others that I can't remember too well as I left it at work. Is anyone interested in the disassembly probe adapter? How about the leads for the P6444 probes - does anyone have these or the pinouts for the P6444 probe? I would be interested in the leads if you wish to trade or sell.
