  1. #USB was created by … wait for it … wait for it … a “boomer”. Ajay Bhatt, born 1957. 5 years younger than myself. I witnessed the internet’s early days while working for #Tektronix. Ya know, a producer of lab quality test & measurement gear, back-in-the-day. Think I’ll go check out that Engadget article now, thanks! 😎 (2/2)

    Trop la classe ce fly pour le #ras2026 à #TerreBlanque, mais les textes sont un peu difficiles à lire, surtout les petites lignes au milieu, tu pourrais essayer de diminuer la luminosité du graphisme d'arrière-plan, ou alors remplacer le jaune par un vert fluo, un peu comme un écran de #tektronix 4014...

  9. @Jencen @philpem me tooo!
    Seriously, I learned so much of what I know about electronics from #tektronix manuals. The people that designed, documented, and built these machines wanted so much for them to remain in service, and I feel compelled to oblige to the best of my abilities.

  14. ETA2: Oh, right! It was picked up on Saturday as planned. Thanks again everyone!

    was:

    Anybody local or willing to be local for pickup and retrocomputery got an interest in an antique Tektronix monitor? It's not multisync in the traditional sense, it's _adjustable_ sync, and you can tune it into a variety of resolutions from the outside using a special plastic tool to adjust internal pots.

    (My household near UW used it as a gaming monitor circa 2000 or so) (I think it came from Boeing Surplus but don't quote me on that. iirc we mostly ran it at 1024x768.)

  19. Today this transitioned from working in principle to working in fact, so now my Tektronix 7704A analogue oscilloscope has a functioning serial input for the readout system.

  23. Sometimes it’s helpful to have a digital and analog scope to look at the same thing.
    I managed to get this HP 3497A test unit up and running, and roughly calibrated using a standard cell.

  28. Four crude circuit board additions that give a serial port to each of these Tektronix 7M13 modules from the early 1970s; now I can animate their electronic text display without having to use 228 pushbuttons.

  33. Yesterday I figured out how to automate entering text into a Tektronix text generator from the early 1970s, so that I can animate it.
    A quirky protocol that is sort of documented except the exceptions...

  37. Today I figured out that I need this strange kludge to permute three pins of this IC and change the order of events (inside an analogue Tektronix 7704A oscilloscope).

  41. I certainly did not expect that all those 228 buttons from the 1970s would just still work 50 years later.

  45. Anyone has experience with Keithley 2461 SMU? When I initialize the digitizer, the trigger model execution waits for the measurement to complete. Instead, I would like it to start collecting data and instantly start the pulse generator.
