#positronJapes I feel like @curiousmarc.bsky.social 😁 Agilent 16702A with two 16555D acquisition boards hooked up to the Positron 9000 which is currently looking for its floppy drive and failing, so I have a GPIB issue it seems. One transceiver chip is original so it may be bad.

Q: "How many channels does your logic analyser have?" A: Yes.

Hahaha 😁 The 16702A mainframe is monstrous but the level of detail you can get out of them is amazing. Inverse Analysers decode on the fly so you can see the actual instructions and what they do to peripherals and ram/rom. TBF my little HP1660a could do this too, but only 4K samples compared to 2M.

i love how they have this button 😂

i have a 1662AS but not actually got around to using/understanding it yet apart from turning it on 😂
