[Techtoolslist] Updates to Fluke 9100 pdfs directory

[John Robertson]

Just found today (Saturday, Nov 3, 2012) a few updated sets of training 
manuals for both the 9100A and 9110FT - which appear to be factory proof 
sets - printed single side (originals) with Post-it notes saying 
"MASTER" and internal Fluke documents talking about making production 
copies...see the first page on a couple of the 1994 files. These came 
with a recent 9100 purchase that I had set aside without looking over 
fully. Must power up the 9100 base and see what software is installed!

The latest documents were from 11/1994, there is also a 10/1993 set too. 
I think the difference depends on the version of software or just 
improvements to the documents over time.

Note that the 1994 FT manuals specify that Rev. 6.1 software is loaded 
on the machine. Note also that the Fluke copy sheet notes at the front 
of the 1994 FT Vol 2 manual say "DO NOT USE Equipmt (sic) never updated 
to match manual - use old text". So, raises the question about if the 
last revision I've loaded is able to be used or if the FT series never 
implemented all the features (new?) covered in the 1994 Part 2.

I've also renamed the files and added the Fluke part numbers when they 
existed on the files.

Interestingly, one file was misnamed - it actually is the installation 
instructions for Ver 6.0 software - It turns out there were four 
versions of 6.0 software update packs, depending on if you have 3.0 or 
higher, or 5.0 and if your machine has the programmer option or not. 
Interesting notes on bugs cured and remaining for those who are writing 
programs for the 9100A/FT.

I suspect 6.1 was the last version and may have only been intended for 
the FT series - if anyone has a 9100A running 6.1 please let us know.

Also some TEAC notes on emulating a 720 drive.

All now found in the TTL  /Fluke/PDFs/9100_fixture directory.
