This sort of stuff scares me with modern Chinese test gear. I'd rather have some rancid old HP or Tek stuff from the 90s and keep a couple of parts mules in the cupboard.
- buildbot 3y agoThe lab I worked in during undergrad had a massive pile of old scopes and such. One of them was this monstrosity of a scope from the 80s (?) that had a built in thermal printer to capture the output, and was I think in the 1-2ghz range! I’m sure it’s still there, working, waiting for the next undergrad to need its assistance.
- mips_r4300i 3y agoProbably an old Lecroy! With the floppy drive next to the thermal printer.
- buildbot 3y agoYES! You jogged my memory - it absolutely was a lecroy with a floppy disk as well! What a cool piece of equipment. Though I won’t say I was too sad when we got to use a 5GHz touch screen Tektronix instead! It ran Windows XP and was generally super awesome to use.
