[Techtoolslist] Fluke 006 async tape data on ftp site + help getting self-test to pass

[Tony Jones]

#1

There are two copies of the tape data on the ftp site:

ftp://ftp.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment/Fluke/9010%20Series/9010A%20Tapes/sig-a.h

13.5k in size; referenced here:
http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/2011q2/001031.html

and

ftp://ftp.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment/Fluke/9010%20Series/9010%20scripts/SA-ASYNC.H

8.1k in size; referenced here:

John; this second one that you uploaded is bad and should be removed.
According to the source, subprograms 12-18 are BINARY but all that is
present in the file for all 7 subprograms is ":1A@@$$  :5350$A3" where
1A is the subprogram identifier, @@ is the subprogram number and $$ is
the checksum.

sig-a.h appears to contain valid binary data.

Using the first image (sig-a.h) I still can't get the self-test
procedure detailed on pages 2-12, 2-13 and 2-14 of the 006 operation
manual to pass.

I've tried now on two different systems (with different clock
modules).  Each time all I get is "signature 0000 count 255"

The manual is marked as "2nd preliminary version"
ftp://ftp.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment/Fluke/9010%20Series/9010_Fixture%20PDFs/9000A-006%20Async%20Probe1.pdf

Several possible reasons:
a) The saved sig-a.h image is also bad.  I actually have an NOS tape
but of the eleven 9010s I've had, none have a working tape to read it
on ;-(

b) The manual is incorrect.  This is possible.  On page 2-14 it says
"set the data delay to 4" but there is no such option in the setup.
Does anyone have a newer copy?

c) I'm not correctly interpreting the resistor hook up instructions on
page 2-13.  Image of what I'm doing attached.

thanks for any help!!
