Paul<p>9/ very confident that it’s a blanking issue with the plug-in - tried it with another horizontal plug-in just to make sure it wasn’t the mainframe. <br>A few other interesting features of the 3B5:<br>The delayed magnification feature. Instead of a separate timebase &amp; intensification zone, it has a selectable 10x &amp; 100x magnification, and the delay control changes the point at which the sweep goes into the magnified rate, so you can still accurately zoom into a specific portion of the waveform. I think this is how some of the later 400 series scopes did it. I like it. <br>The sweep speed goes up to 10nS / division which is the fastest of any of the 560 series plug-ins. Note while it’s labeled 10nS on the silkscreen, the illuminated indicator uses ‘mili micro seconds (m u S)’ to avoid adding a 3rd prefix.<br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/tektronix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tektronix</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retroTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retroTech</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintageTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintageTech</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/1960s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1960s</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/testEquipment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>testEquipment</span></a></p>

Paul<p>7/ It was the nuvistor. It’s always the f$&amp;king nuvistor. Both autoranging plug-ins are somewhat working.<br>Vertical plug-in still has some ranging issues, and the horizontal plug-in is slow to un-blank, which becomes a problem at higher sweep speeds. I’ll tackle that next. <br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retroTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retroTech</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintageTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintageTech</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/tektronix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tektronix</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/1960s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1960s</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/testEquipment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>testEquipment</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a></p>
J.P.<p><strong>Peace.</strong></p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Our friends Jeff and Mark are in town. I took the afternoon off from work so we can do a little bit exploring together.&nbsp;</p><p>The Titan Missile Museum is about 40 km south of Tucson just off Interstate 19. If you know anything about Interstate 19, you’ll know why I referred to the distance in metric instead of using the standard U.S. Imperial measurements.</p><p>The only remaining Titan Missile site still intact, visitors can go on a 45 minute tour of the underground facility. This includes taking the 55 stairs down to the area, visiting the control center, and then walking the long gangway to the actual missile silo. The now hollowed out Titan II Missile is still there, its launch doors locked in the half open position, indicating it’s not live and can not be launched if the doors are in this position. This stipulation was part of the SALT Treaty, and is apparently confirmed three times a day when a Russian satellite passes over Tucson. Changing the position of the launch doors would signal bad things to Russia, and then we’d have a whole international thing around it.</p><p>I am a big fan of older technology. I enjoy the aesthetic of the cabinets, I respect the industrial feel, and I particularly enjoy the user interfaces, with big lights, knobs, switches, and the like.&nbsp;</p><p>If you’re in the Tucson area and interested in how peace was kept through “Mutually Assured Destruction” during the Cold War, I highly recommend take the trip to this museum south of Tucson. The entrance fee is reasonable, the gift shop has a bunch of interesting things, and I feel like it’s a good thing for U.S. citizens to see all the measures that are taken to keep our country safe.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.jpnearl.com/tag/coldwar/" target="_blank">#coldwar</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.jpnearl.com/tag/military/" target="_blank">#military</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.jpnearl.com/tag/retrotech/" target="_blank">#retrotech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.jpnearl.com/tag/usmilitary/" target="_blank">#usmilitary</a></p>
