Test Equipment Anonymous

More TE incoming. I just bought a Agilent E8510A LAN GPIB gateway. So in theory I should be able to access my instruments anywhere. Very useful piece of equipment -I could get one for a reasonable price some time ago. -Works fine for me but I have an uptime-issue with my setup (dhcp from my interne...

Tony, going back your YouTube-video-history one can comprehend TEA in progress over time. :lol: My addiction has also led to the state in which I wonder how and where I could store/setup all my gear and accessories -especially after our move: I thought that would make things easier but in fact I exp...

https://teanonymous.com/f1/download/file.php?id=1057&mode=view ...I just pulled the trigger on a nearly mint-looking Philips PM3340 sampling oscilloscope 2 Ch 2GHz. <175ps rise time according to the datasheet. :D Much as I love my 546XXxen, that is a dead-sexy bit of TE! Best of luck tooya! mne...

Ups, avalanche! The list of required equipment needed for checking/adjusting a piece of test gear struck again.. This time its for my [ hp ] 5370B Time Interval Counters: The manual lists a [ hp ] 182C oscilloscope mainframe with [ hp ] 1810A 1GHz sampling plug-in with a rise-time of =< 350ps. Nothi...

Upsie, my short story of my 5370B with link to this TEA-thread pissed of a user at the TEA-thread over at eevblogs. Was my approach to rude?

I have a simple motto, pack it in the fashion as I would want to receive it, it is simple to pack anything well, you don't need any skills just common sense. Unfortunately "common sense isn't " is a useful rule of thumb in all situations :( Most people don't have a clue how they would lik...

[..] Congratulations to your successful move as well and welcome to the new mad house, built by bitseeker for us inhabitants. ;) Thanks! After all, I moved in two ways: physically (new house) and immaterially (teanonymous). :D Packaging seems some kind of rocket science, I do not get it, really! :r...

..follow-up to the arrival of my hp 5370B Not following the rule "don't turn it on -take it apart" TM I let the seal at the back untouched, saving the fun of breaking it for later: 20230324_5370B_seal.jpg In fact, this seal was one reason to send the seller my offer -besides the higher ser...

After I was announced this: 20230323_screenshot_est_del-date_5370B.png I got an email today announcing the delivery to me today! *WTF* Shortly after that: 20230324_screenshot_sendung_zugestellt.png Ok, much to my surprise there it is: 20230324_box_all.jpg I won't complain, of course, but what a surp...

I rather like them just sliced and steamed for 15 minutes or so aka "council carrots". Plenty of flavour!

..yes, pure but with a little bit of butter.

uhh, excitement slowly rising. Houston, we got a delivery date for my upcoming 5370B: 20230323_screenshot_est_del-date_5370B.png (March, 30th - during the day) It was handled at Pitney Bowes in Erlanger and sent out on Tuesday. I hope repackaging at Pitney Bowes was done carefully and properly! :wor...

As for our ikea-kitchen I can say, that we're very happy with the build quality. It's on the same quality level like other brands that can cost a lot more. But on the other hand you can plan/combine the ikea cabinets and pieces freely yourself and with the availability of single parts you can build ...

It's only my second 5370B, that's not concernig, isn't it? It's always nice to have a backup. In field testing, our mantra tends towards "Two is one, and one is none", because if the only one you have breaks or gets lost, you're hosed. -Pat Pat, you just gave me the relief I urgently need...

I bought an hp 5370B time interval counter on March, 10th off of ebay. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/YlAAAOSw6JNieqQV/s-l1600.jpg I placed a reasonable low offer briefly before ending. I didn't really expect my offer being accepted but I couldn't let the instrument go without doing anything. :lol: ...

Yes, the joy of renovation. I followed your rebuilding/extending of your house back then. After all is done you really need photos to remember all the hassle and work you went thru. Our brain wipes out negative things astonishingly fast. But it could have been worse, if the previous owner had built ...

still follow-up: In the end this room -our new office- looked like this after our move: 20220901_office.jpg You see my bench there but this will not be the place where I will build it permanently, I'll move it into a room in the (dry & clean) basement. :D We were happy to find a group of craftsm...

follow-up: We also changed some minor things of the houses construction. I ripped out a steel door frame.. 20220206_doorframe_demo.jpg 20220226_doorframe_out.jpg ..and bricked it up. 20220320_dooropening_walled.jpg We closed an opening of former roof window.. 20220124_former_roof_window_opening.jpg ...

Hi fellow addicts! Like I wrote on 05-10-2021 over in the eevblog-TEA-thread my wife and I bought a house in 2021. We moved from the inner city to a rural village with only little less than 1000 inhabitants and lots of Gegend* around it. (*- fields and grassland, sheep, cows, horses..) 20220927_vill...

We should be joining up with an old friend URI from the EEVblog soon, he told me last night that he was missing his old chums on EEVblog since he returned from taking time off to finish his house, he noticed that we were no longer there. He has now registered here and is just waiting for bitseeker ...
