When I was in college, studying EE, we had HP oscilloscopes and digital logic analyzers. I can't remember for sure, but I think it was the logic analyzers that had an easter egg that if you held down a specific set of buttons while powering on, you could play Tetris on it. I also remember the oscilloscope being so sensitive, that without any leads connected, it could detect the signal of someone walking by it.
- jjoonathan 7y agoYep! Their legacy continues today. Here's HP (sorry, I mean Agilent, sorry, I mean Keysight) dropping a 110GHz real-time oscilloscope: https://youtu.be/dB5rg_TqmD8?t=32 https://youtu.be/dB5rg_TqmD8?t=32 I'd like to think that if Bill and Dave (Hewlett and Packard) were still alive they could still take pride in their T&M legacy, even though it's the DRM-hobbled one-quarter-full printer ink cartridges that wound up with their names on the front.
- mauvehaus 7y agoDon't know about the logic analyzers, but I played tetris on an HP scope in a lab on campus years ago.
