Re: Fluke 9010a issue with pod self test - Dohh !

Ahh... I replaced the PIA with a 6821... still no joy... Then I noticed
that the self test socket on the pod was a little loose (the thumb wheel is
very very stiff on it) - Dohh !! Problem solved... a little embarrasing...
:-)

It was just my luck that when I swapped the pod over , it was making bad
contact in the self test socket, swapped it to the working unit and contact
was good...swapped back to faulty unit.. contact was bad... Finally put the
pod back on the worker only to have it fail !! - That was a heart stopping
moment... Then I noticed the cause !!

This 9010a unit also only 3 roms, the manual mentions a piggy back rom
board, but no sign of it... Running Version 3A ( I havent opened the other
unit up, also 3A to check)

Anyway... back to my first question.... Can you just swap the RS-232 module
over without any further mods.. ?

Thanks for you help guys..

Kind Regards, Colin
