Re: Updates to Fluke 9100 pdfs directory

Hey guys, I'm new here, did a long intro mail but it never arrived so I do a very short one now.
Just wanted to report that I bought a Fluke 9100A last weekend. It has V6.1 running.
The system came with the programmer keyboard and has a video card. It has 4 MB Ram and the ROMS are V5. There is a 340 MB SCSI Seagate Harddrive in it. It works 100%

It came with a lot of extra stuff, I'll report more later.

>>> Just found today (Saturday, Nov 3, 2012) a few updated sets of training manuals for both the 9100A and 9110FT - which appear to be factory proof sets - printed single side (originals) with Post-it notes saying "MASTER" and internal Fluke documents talking about making production copies...see the first page on a couple of the 1994 files. These came with a recent 9100 purchase that I had set aside without looking over fully. Must power up the 9100 base and see what software is installed!

Note also that the Fluke copy sheet notes at the front of the 1994 FT Vol 2 manual say "DO NOT USE Equipmt (sic) never updated to match manual - use old text". So, raises the question about if the last revision I've loaded is able to be used or if the FT series never implemented all the features (new?) covered in the 1994 Part 2.

Interesting notes on bugs cured and remaining for those who are writing programs for the 9100A/FT.
