Fluke 9000A mystery adapter (for me at least ;-)
by John Robertson 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

I have a pod module here called "Z8 I/F ADAPTER" Fluke #9000-200/AB. It has no cable to the base, just a 40 pin CPU cable. Inside is a couple of RAM chips, and some Fluke hybrid interface ICs. Any guesses? John :-#)#

Does anyone happen to know if these are available online somewhere? I have them and I'm just wondering if I should scan them in. The two I have are: 1) 90 Series uP Board Tester - User's Manual 2) Quicktools for the IBM PC - User's Manual Matt _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist

Fluke 9010a Troubleshooting w/ Omega Race
by Matt Rossiter 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

This might be more of a Vectorlist question, but I thought I might try here. Right now I'm using a 100% working Omega Race boardset to make sure I have the correct setup using the Fluke 9010a and Z80 Pod. First of all, the boardset just won't run with the Z80 Pod. I can see that the Reset line is pulsing. It won't run if I disable the watchdog circuit either. *sometimes* I can get it to do a Quick Ram Test successfully. Other times I get data error messages and if I do a bus test it will report a bunch of data lines tied together. Of course, if I put a normal z80 processor back in the game works perfectly fine. So, I'm just wondering if anyone out there knows how to properly setup an Omega Race boardset for troubleshooting with the Fluke 9010a and Z80 pod. This Pod should be working fine since I used it recently on a Pac-Man. thanks Matt _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist

manual for Bugtrap 8000?
by Joe Magiera 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

Does anyone know where an online copy of the manual for a Bugtrap Dynamic Ram Tester Model 8000 might be? Hans got it off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA% 3AIT&viewitem=&item=230102520160&rd=1&rd=1 If anyone has this and be willing to scan or copy, it would be much appreciated. Looks pretty straightforward, but always nice to have a reference manual.

Re: [Techtoolslist] Huntron Tracker 200

> Not as far as I could ever tell. The only advantage was you > did not have to set up a kludge to the front of your 'scope. Kinda depends on what you're doing with it... I have a Huntron Protrack 1 and it does have some handy capabilities depending on what kind of stuff you're working with. (ie, adjustable frequency, source resistance and Clay I've used a Huntron since 1978, 1st one was #596 and find it one of the most valuable test instruments I have ever encountered. Phil Hopkins from APC.... Worked for DEC for 21 years voltage drive to get more detailed images depending on what value components are in the circuit-- plus a computer interface.) I've never really used it much as a repair tool for a single unit, but it's very handy when comparing a 'gold board' signature against multiple production units without the need to power anything on. With a computer attached you can automate things as well. (Better to find a backwards tantalum cap before even powering it up, or even worse-- incorrect parts loaded in an adjustable power supply that'll smoke a bunch of expensive actives if powered. ;-) I did use it to repair on a bunch of GO7 monitor chassis boards a couple years back. I took a 'NOS' board I had to make signatures and then just tested all the 'unknown' boards against the "known good" to find shorted transistors, bad caps, etc. without having to apply power to any of the units under test. One of the external Huntron boxes (I think the current model is the 210?) can be used with something like a Tektronix DSO that has an onscreen pass/fail mask capabilitiy. (So you can make a mask that basically says "any signal inside this boundary is a pass, anything outside is a fail" and you can have less skilled technicians still pass/fail test a board with high confidence and no PC required...) I suppose you could do the same with a paper cutout 'mask' for a less fancy o-scope too. ;-) -Clay _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist
