Wanted: Information on GP Industrial Electronics XP640 EPROM Programmer - Page 1

content: Hello all!This post is a request for information on The GP Industrial Electronics XP640 EPROM Programmer. This device was manufactured in the mid 1980's and a few still exist (I have one, hence this post). The machine had a few attachments to allow it to program EPROMs larger than 28 pins and also to act as an EPROM Emulator.The additional attachments were the XU620, with various pods for different devices and microprocessors of the era. The EPROM Emulator was designated the XM512.I located a review of the XP640 and XM512 in the July 1985 issue of Electronics Today International (Australia).I would be interested in finding more information about this machine and whether anyone has examples of the programmer or attachments. I am willing to purchase any items related to this device (at a reasonable price + shipping).Documentation would be very useful. Please see Matthieu Benoit's website for further info.Regards to all.Ade

content: Hi Kilo Tango,Yes, this post is also in the "Test Equipment" section. I believe this is the "Buy/Sell/Wanted" section, and as I "want" info or examples of the device, I thought it would be appropriate to post it here.I also posted this in the microprocessors section, but it seems to have disappeared from there!Posting this request to the "Repair" section would be inappropriate as my XP640 is functional and does not need repair.Regards,Ade
Searching for HV CCFL Driver for my R&S SMIQ Display [840.5698] - Page 1

content: +1 to that idea, it's very common that you're able to retrofit a LED backlight when replacing a CCFL backlight - uses less power, requires no high voltage, and lasts longer.I don't know specifically if there's a properly sized replacement on the market, and I haven't opened my SMIQ's front panel module to see if the inverter and backlight are easily accessible and replaceable.Actually, after a bit of googling, it looks like if the replacement module is a DMF50161N, the power cables run under the board, but each of the two backlights are accessible from the sides of the module and can probably be swapped with LED strips.

content: I hadn't considered suggesting LED in this case but that is worth considering. I recently took apart a small industrial TFT panel to replace the backlight and found that UV from the CCFL had completely destroyed it. The acrylic light spreader was yellowed and the edge nearest the CCFL tubes was so brittle that it cracked just by my careful removal of the tube assembly. The thin diffuser panel was also badly yellowed and crumbled into pieces when I removed it. LEDs do not emit significant amounts of UV so that could be a further advantage for a heavily used instrument.

Not as easy as Shariars replacementhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smrMoIpvYTk.You've to remove the complete metal frame from the lcd and gently extract the diffuser (see attachment) to access the tubes from the front side of the display module (left and right of the diffuser).

timestamp: December 29, 2017, 08:41:40 pm
content: Hi guys,I am selling this high voltage divider. I was not able to find any information on the internet at all on it.The only markings on it are a logo that no one knows and the title VHVD101 on a bar code. It's very well made and very accurate, I did a rough description of the measurements done here:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology/high-voltage-divider-what-company-is-this/- all in all, less than 0.005% error as far as I was able to measure it. I have tested the device with low voltage only, I don't have access to a higher voltage source that could be used that precisely.The insides of it are just what you'd expect - bunch of high voltage resistors connected in series, potted in a transparent goo. A PT100 is thermally connected to one of the high voltage resistors to measure the temperature. The output connectors are LEMO types, one two pin for the divider output and one 4 pin for the PT100 output. I'm pretty sure that this cost a pretty penny when new.It is marked 50kV max. The input connectors are of a high voltage variety, I can't identify the precise type, looks like an ELMESO system, the diameter of the inner hole is 17mm and they are pretty deep.I do not know the original use of this device, it's probable that it was a part of a larger system.The outer dimensions are 470mm x 110mm x 70mm.The device is sold as is. The asking price is 120 EUR + shipping. Personal pickup (or showing of the item) in Bratislava, Slovakia is an option.Best regards,David

It looks like that model is capable of standalone operation with a regular composite monitor and a foot pedal (and the manuals confirm this). The current XR-3700 model has the same connections. When used with the BGA soldering station, the composite video is digitized using a PCI card in the station.

content: I suspect it works similarly to the postal inspection machine Mike Harrison did a teardown video of a few years ago. IIRC that machine used a phosphor screen with a video camera pointed at it in a sealed box, crude but effective.It's not too hard to build a similar machine, I have a small xray intensifier unit that came from a C-arm fluoroscope, due to the intensifier a dental xray head is perfectly adequate as a source. It's FAR more sensitive than a phosphor screen and camera combination although the field of view is only about 4" around on mine.

content: I purchased the pictured drawer set on auction just for the drawers, but the resistors are included and I have not enough use for them to keep them. So I want to sell just the resistors but not the drawers. They in my guesstimation appear to be at least 30 year old stock, and the leads all show some tarnishing. They are mostly IRC brand 1% tolerance and look to be mostly 1/2 watt and a smaller portion 1/8 watt. there are also a couple of lots of high precision wire-wound resistors included. They are all sorted and bagged separately for each value, and there's a lot of and closely spaced different values with a few big gaps (missing drawers?) in the value range. In my estimation there's several thousand resistors in the entire lot.I'm not sure if these are worth much, but I don't want to just contribute them to the land fill. So I'll sell them to the highest offer after a week plus the cost of shipping, of course.

Advanced trigger options are the most important functions at a logic analyzer as you really do not want to deal with zillions of data. The better the trigger options, the less you have to search within your data for the problem.$200 is a very good price. I am wondering why it hasn't been sold yet. Do not make the mistake to compare the Logicport with the Saleae cheapies (or similar devices). These are just toys, maybe good for some I2C data capturing.Hint: at thewww.intronix.comsite you can download the full software. You can run it in demo mode, which allows you to really play with all software options as the demo mode produces random data.Hint 2: the user interface (e.g. Zoom +/- with CTRL+mouse buttons instead of scroll wheel) is kind of ... lets call it 'unconventional'.
