content: More equipment for sale due to upgrades: A Tektronix TLA704 mainframe with 2 modules: aTLA7N4 with 4Mpts/channel and TLA7L3 with 128kpts/channel.The mainframe has been upgraded with:- A P200 MMX overdrive CPU (instead of the reguler P133)- Real power switch- 128MB memory- 800x600 display- 4GB compact flash SSD as a hard drive- TLA software version 5.1 installed so it can also be used remotely from a PC.- I2C and SPI decoders are also availableUnfortunately one of the sides of the casing has been slightly deformed while removing sticker residu using a heat gun.Accesoires:- probe pouch- 4x P6417 probe (the ones with the double tongue contacts which also take thin wires)- 2x probe lead-set (the probe leads can be seperated and serve as lead sets themselves)- A 3COM PCMCIA network card for network connectivity- GrabbersThe acquisition modules can be used at up to 250Ms/s in full channel mode and 500Ms/s in half channel mode (doubles the memory depth). In addition to the regular memory the modules have a shorter memory which is sampled at 2Gs/s which is handy to look for timing issues. Both modules pass self-test and self- calibration. This mainframe and the software can also be used with newer acquisition modules like the TLA7AAx modules.One of the greatest features of these logic analysers is the programmable trigger engine which can also trigger on a sequence of events, time-outs or a combination. The software has a tool which can configure the trigger system for over 100 common and less common scenarios but you can also program your own trigger statemachine. I have been able to find the many elusive bugs/problems with this feature. Another neat feature is to record a single sample on an event (clock edge) or a block of samples when a certain event occurs. This allows for very long but very accurate recordings. Because every sample has it's own 52 bit timestamp the time relation between the events is retained. The TLA application software allows for searching and performing measurements on waveforms like the frequency, number of pulses, delay, etc.I'm looking for 400 euro for this set. Everything has been configured and it is ready to go! I prefer local pickup in the NL but I can ship (the weight is around 12kg).

content: LA arrived today, very well packaged and in very good condition so big thumbs up for nctnicoI already managed to get TLA v5.1 running from WinXP in VirtualBox, connecting remotely to TLA704. v5.8 wants to update TLA7N4 firmware so I need to check if it is a safe thing to do.Couldn't get v6.1 to work remotely with v5.1 on the mainframe, maybe it requires some hacking.

content: I'm happy to read it arrived safely; I had to mix&match the padding a bit. I hope it serves you as well as it did me.
