8620C Function |
NOTE: The 8620C Functions are used as required by the various HP 86200 Series RF Plug-Ins.
February 2010
An Extender Cable (08620-60032) is required to operate the RF Plug-In outside of the 8620C for maintenance purposes. As these seem to be very hard to find, I decided to make one up from a 36 way Centronics socket out of a scrap Epson printer and the correct 36 way Amphenol Blue plug (supplied by Steve K, thank you). A fairly time consuming task!
