Thanks for responding.
@alm I will take a look at Bama and xdevs tomorrow and upload the files.
@srb1954 Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Volume one exists! Yippee! I'm longing to see it, as for the last fifteen years I've had to guess how to use this thing and barely managed to grab a waveform and do an FT on it. One of the things I am hoping to do is be able to download the data via RS232 (just ordered some cables) and/or GPIB (just looking at Prologix and EZGPIB). I say "hoping" as I'm not much cop at digital
The 6000 is supposedly similar enough to the 6100 that the application notes manual contents are taken from the 6000 and specifically states that they will run fine on the 6100. Since the 2020 arbitrary waveform generator is meant to work with both of these instruments, the manual for that (which I've seen online but off the top of my head don't recall where) should give some hints of how they work together.
I was going to retire the 6100, but on second thoughts it still has significant capabilities, even compared to new kit. I thought the 611-1 plug-in was twelve bit (it's that long since I used it!) but it is 14 bit and covers up to 100kHz. The 660B plug-in is 8 bit but goes up to 250Mhz and the fastest sample rate is 40ps, which suggests to me that 250MHz is being conservative. Mind you, that fastest sample rate failed self-test when I last tried to use it. But the "slower" speeds work fine. It's a bit noisy with a 100cfm Papst fan, but I've bought a Noctua NF-F12 2000rpm fan and I'll try swapping them and see if the Noctua is quieter. If only I can work out how to extract the data...
Most of the material in the two manuals I have is probably not that useful, as it concerns processing the data on the analyzer itself and these days you'd be better off downloading it to your computer and massaging the data there. Much faster and more capabilities. Which is what I'm hoping to do.
Sadly, I have no schematics to offer
