B&K Precision 560 IC library VER. 2.00 EPROMS dumps
by Fabrizio Vasile 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

HI all, today I've dumped the four EPROMS inside my B&K Precision IC tester, these EPROMS store the IC library used during IN and OUT of circuit tests. They are are all Hitachi HM482764G (so readable as 2764), labeled from IC4 to IC5, the most left socket is empty but , according manual, it was populated during first production (version 1.00 , I presume) Here the archive containing the dumps plus a picture of EPROMS and two scanned page of the manual on how disassemble the unit. Now, it would be nice if someone could dump other version, I know there are at least the 2.20 and 3.00 (this is maybe the latest) ones. http://www.mediafire.com/?e6pyh96bw44amh5 _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

HELP : B&K Precision 560 IC tester firmware upgrade
by Fabrizio Vasile 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi all, since I'm going to get a B&K Precision 560 IC tester with a 2.00 firmware onboard, I'm wondering if is it possibile to upgrade it to the latest revision and where to get this update, I knew for sure some units has 2.50 or even 3.00 firmware revision. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Thank you for your post on the 10529a. I've only played with them a couple times. I was hoping they would be helpful but I was loosing hope before your post. I will spend more time using them and learning the quirks.

Has anyone had good luck with the HP10529 ? I seem to get a lot of false ic failures during tests. Have you seen the HP ever show a failed IC test good?
