content: Wouldn't mind it if it were the Agilent. I bought it and I like it tough I’m not able to "Take it apart". Agilent seem to have hidden some screws or something near the back of the meter, and since the thing cost me dearly I don't want to ruin it by forcing it open.And for the video, that dude is either a marketer who just spits out the word given to him regardless of what the mean, or he is able to keep a serious poker face whilst talking bollocks.....And well what Dave really has in store for us, I don't know but we will soon find out.

content: For one's references:Here at Rockwell Automation's world head quarters, research has been proceeding to develop a line of automation products that establishes new standards for quality, technological leadership and operating excellence. With customer success as our primary focus, work has been proceeding on the crudely conceived idea of an instrument that would not only provide inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters.Such an instrument comprised of Dodge gears and bearings, Reliance Electric motors, Allen-Bradley controls, and all monitored by Rockwell Software is Rockwell Automation's retro-encabulator.Now basically the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it's produced by the modial interaction of magneto reluctance and capacitive duractance. The original machine had a base plate of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings ran a direct line with the panametric fam.The line-up consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzul vanes so fitted to the ambaphascient lunar wain shaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-odeltoid type placed in panendurmic semi-bulloid slots of the stator. Every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremmy pipe to the differential girdle spring on the up-end of the grammeters.Moreover, whenever fluorescent square motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with the drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal depleneration.The retro-encabulator has now reached a high level of development, and it’s being successfully used in the operation of Milford trunnions. It's available soon, wherever Rockwell Automation products are being sold.Full text here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TurboencabulatorQuote from: RayJones on February 01, 2011, 06:48:47 pm

content: I'm going to guess it's one of the new Agilent value line scopes, but I won't ignore the possibility it's an average responding spankometer.Also, wow, I haven't heard mention of the Turboencabulator in a long time! All the jargon reminds me of the old tomahawk missile promo from General Dynamics. When I was a kid my father was in the USAF and they had a bunch of the old promotional video for various weapon systems. They were like 30 to 90 minute infomercials, and usually had some neat video of an old jalopy getting destroyed by military weaponry. I recalled the one from the tomahawk when a chunk showed up on the internet. It's part of the narration about the guidance subsystem, and reads as follows . . .QuoteIf that doesn't seem too bad in print, try the audio. Here'sa link to the ytmnd pageI found it on (caution,turn down your volume). If it still doesn't seem that bad, you are an engineer!
