What do I do with this Non-working fluke 9010a?
by Matthew Rossiter 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

Does anyone here: A) feel confident enough to fix my fluke 9010a trouble shooter B) Know of a place where I can get it fixed and calibrated? or C) Think I should just buy a new one off of ebay? This thing was working fine. Then I let it sit around for several months unused. I went to troubleshoot a board and it won't power up properly. I have no idea what the problem is. It's plain dead. About all I could do is swap the CPU, the roms, the ram and the interface chip. I also used my Fluke 90 - Z80 troubleshooter - but the only thing I can see wrong is it doesn't pass memory tests very well. Any advice would be appreciated.

What is a good Freq Counter?
by Kev 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

Can anyone recomend a good frequency counter brand/model. I'm looking for something 100Mhz or less for counting pulsetrains on game boards. I don't really need totals, just pulses over time.

Fluke Frequency Program pt2
by Kev 11 Feb '02

11 Feb '02

Okay, I'm understanding a bit more. One trick is you must EXEC PROGRAM 2 not 1. Neither Register shows any life or more than a single Zero on display (is there additional formatting?) The toggle rate between registers is pretty slow unless I put the probe on something with some activity then the toggling between displaying REG0 and REGF speeds up. new listing.... :code :setup active force off :setup active interrupt off :setup beep on /* ************************************************* * This program turns the Fluke 9010A into a * * < 4Mhz FREQUENCY COUNTER * ************************************************* */ :equate frequency as 1 :equate count.test as :next :program count.test label 3 execute frequency DISPLAY HERE IS REG0 $0 DISPLAY HERE IS REGF $F goto 3 To UNSUBSCRIBE from techtoolslist, send a message with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the message body to: techtoolslist-request(a)flippers.com.

Fluke 9010A Frequency Counter
by Kev 10 Feb '02

10 Feb '02

Who has tried the F9010 compiler? I'm trying to write a real simple program to read the frequency counter & display it. I've tried both REG0 & REG1 with similar results.... the fluke shows executing but no display & then finally crashes. Any suggestions? Thanks, Kev :code :setup active force off :setup active interrupt off :setup beep on /* ************************************************* * This program turns the Fluke 9010A into a * * < 4Mhz FREQUENCY COUNTER * ************************************************* */ :equate frequency as 1 :program frequency label 1 execute frequency display REG1 $1 goto 1 To UNSUBSCRIBE from techtoolslist, send a message with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the message body to: techtoolslist-request(a)flippers.com.

What type of software do you guys use when interfacing the 9010A to a computer via a 232 port? Is there any software that will run on an old 386 computer?

Changing web hosts...
by John Robertson 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

I am in the process of changing to a new web host and Techtools may be down for a few days. I'll let you know when it is up, and if there is a "Test" message if I could get Kev only (don't want dozens, thanks for being volunteered Kev!) to reply that would be great. Hope this is all straightened out by Tuesday at the latest. For those that are curious of the process, Currently Flippers.com is at http://216.146.11.117 (my Jumpline.net host) and if you are to plug that into your browser you would arrive there, the same as typing in www.flippers.com, now the new host is in Canada and the new site address will be http://64.114.46.198/. now if you put that in you will again appear to be at Flippers.com, however if you open a DOS window and type "PING WWW.FLIPPERS.COM" you will see the 216... as the site location UNTILL the switchover (in the next day or two) when the site number will change to 64... It is AFTER the switchover that I expect problems...at least for a day or so...

Re: Fluke 9010A manuals on Spies?

Has anyone else had this problem? I had the same problem when printing out the CATBox .pdf. I could find no way to fix it (yes, I did try all of the invert options, fiddling with the printer etc. etc.) except using a different computer with an earlier version of Acrobat (I used 3 instead of 4). It was printing to a LaserJet 4 Emulation. To UNSUBSCRIBE from techtoolslist, send a message with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the message body to: techtoolslist-request(a)flippers.com.

Anyone want a 6809 pod?
by Kev 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

I think I finally found some 6809 pods for the Fluke 9010A / 9100 series. Problem is the prices...... I've been quoted $550 to $1100 The best deal I've found now is $500 for NIB units. There are apparently multiple units available. Anyone interested? Hopefully I know more this coming week (exactly how many are available).
