Was there ever a RoadTest for the Agilent/Keysight 53200 series?

jadew

Hey guys,

 

My mind is probably playing tricks on me, because I remember there was a RoadTest for the 53200 frequency counters. Did I imagine it or they're just not there anymore?

 

Thanks,

Razvan

  • I cannot find a Roadtest on the 53200 series either, plenty of information from Keysight themselves, or there are some independent reviews on Youtube.

     

    I do have a  53220A53220A so if you want to know something specific let me know and I may be able to help

     

    Kind regards

    Hi Donald,

     

    Sorry for the late reply, holidays got in the way. I just want to know if there should be any lights turning on (other than the green LED) or relays clicking when you turn it on. The one I have turns on (all power rails are at the expected voltages), but has nothing on the display, it's basically a brick.

     

    The Spear MCU on the processor board appears to work (based on some small RAM traffic), but I don't think the firmware gets loaded.

     

    Thanks,

    Razvan

    Hello Razvan,

     

    No problems, I have uploaded a video of the start-up of the counter for you, hopefully it will be available soon.

     

    Keysight 53220A Start-up Sequence

     

    I do not hear or see anything when plugging into the mains supply.

     

    On pressing the start button, the green light, display and fan all seem to come on together. I didn't hear any relays clicking until the end of the second boot screen, about 26 seconds into the start-up.

     

    Hope this is helps you out.

     

    Kind regards.
