8640B Signal generator for ham use died
Anyone know of a troubleshooting guide for the HP 8640B?
My display reads all zero's although the generator is putting out a signal just fine. I'd like to find a step by step guide that would lead me to the defective component. Rick K2XT |

Thanks K. I should have said I have the manual but was hoping somewhere there
was one of those flowchart guides that leads one through to the right component. I was hoping to avoid having to learn how all those digital circuits work in the counter section. I was sort of thinking maybe somewhere in HP docs there might have been such an animal, for the HP techs to use. Rick K2XT |

This guy has the service manual for sale for $8. If you only have the
operating manual, this may give you what you need. http://home.comcast.net/~aa4df02/hp.htm Dick - W6CCD On Fri, 13 Jul 2007 22:13:31 GMT, (Rick) wrote: Thanks K.

Check to see if the button for internal/external counter is set correctly.

Most old HP manuals are available for free on the HP/Agilent website. Go here to search for available manuals: http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/facet.jspx?lc=eng&cc=US&t=80039.k.1 Go here for both the 8640B operating and service manuals: http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/techSupport.jspx?pid=8640B%3Aepsg%3Apro&pageMode=M N&cc=US&lc=eng -- Service to my country?

The OP of that thread is apparently refurbishing them, and may be able to provide some hints. Fred K4DII |
