Designing a 9010 replacement LED display?
by John Robertson via Techtoolslist 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

I was looking at my 9005 and grumbling because the tube is missing, then I pulled out the 9010a service manual and you know, it looks like it would be a pretty easy fix to replace the tube with 32 digit alpha-numeric LEDs of the correct size on a small PCB and all that would be needed is to replace the UDN6118 fluorescent drivers with suitable LED drivers and find a place to grab 5V and ground and then mount the new display to the board... Maybe it would work? Anyone interested in poking at the KiCAD layout? I have no free time, but I know there are folks out there looking for a solution to bad or weak tubes...

Fluke 9110FT SPECTRUM-TX diskettes imaged
by Martin Olsson 10 May '23

10 May '23

Hi all! I bought a Fluke 9110FT setup and with that setup came the SPECTRUM-TX diskettes which I now have imaged and uploaded to the "/TTL/Test_Equipment/Fluke/9100 Series" folder on John's FTP site. Inside the ZIP archive is a ReadMe with more details about the images etc. I haven't tested the images myself but I think they should probably work as the original diskettes was error free. Enjoy! /Martin! _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

9100 LEARN?
by John Robertson via Techtoolslist 09 May '23

09 May '23

I’ve been hunting the 9100 documents but I can’t find so far the equivalent LEARN feature as found in the 9010. It is almost as if they assumed you would have written the UUT test procedures in advance of servicing a CPU based board! I’m trying to troubleshoot a module and was hoping the Learn function would steer me to what the CPU is seeing on a development board, but can’t seem to do this with the 9100. So, time to bring a 9010 home for the weekend to get to the bottom of the addressing issues for my ALI 6530 sub-board. Something I did wrong - as the prototype worked - but the first generation PCBs aren’t yet. Anyone have a work-around for Learn on the 9100? Thanks!

Berzerk / Frenzy signature analysis?
by davids＠oz.net 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

These boards are setup for SA and the documents package has a note in it saying field engineering would release the signatures as soon as they had them. And they would send them to operators. But I can't find anything about them online. Anyone? Thanks, David _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Fluke 9010A signatures - now you can add them to Synalyze It! Pro (MAC)
by John Robertson via Techtoolslist 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

If you run MAC OSX and you use Synalyze It! Pro (and why not if you aren't?) then Andreas has created a script that will allow you to see the Fluke 9010A Signature on any file you load! He said I can share it so it is attached to this email and I'll post it on the TTL FTP list shortly. Here are the instructions: -------------(quote with edits)---------------- The attached script does the trick. It uses the Python version of the slightly modified C version of the signature generation on GitHub repo. (translated by ChatGPT). If you bought Synalyze It! Pro via Mac App Store, the script should be placed here: "~/Library/Containers/com.synalyze-it.SynalyzeItPro/Data/Library/Application Support/Synalyze It! Pro/Scripts/GenerateFlukeSignature.script" or "~/Library/Application Support/Synalize It! Pro/Scripts" If you bought the downloaded version, cut out the “~/Library/Containers/com.synalyze-it.SynalyzeItPro/Data/Library" Alternatively you could also copy the script from the .script XML file and create a new script of type File in the script editor. When having the hex editor with the file in the foreground the script should appear in the Script menu. Then the log view can be opened at the bottom of the window pulling up, (there’s a split view handle) where the Fluke Signature now shows. -------------(end quote)---------- It works just fine!

Working on a Major Havoc, and the funky memory map (paged, rams & roms) are giving me fits. Anyone have scripts for this game?
