Magnus:

   Thanks. I now have a full set of 5771 and 5372 manuals. With lots of app notes and other addenda.

   If anyone needs a set on a DVD, be happy to make one for them.

Hi,

As I looked, I found not the full set of manuals, but an operations/programmer manual and a few tidbits. I have however been able to locate the service manual elsewhere, electrotanya for instance, and was not too hard to locate with a DuckduckGo search +HP5371A +"service manual". I am pretty sure I was able to locate it before in other places. Please note that the 5371A service manual is in Vol1 and Vol2. I have been able to locate a rather complete set of manuals before and download to my older laptop, so I have not seen it as a big problem. Maybe I was a little bit smarter than I recall. Sorry for any confusion.

Cheers,
Magnus

   I know that site well but was not able to see the 5371 manuals.  I will take another look, as I have been known to miss the obvious.

Tom,

Thanks. Splendid work.

Lester,

As I recall it you will find the full set of 5371A manuals at keysight, just as you do for 5372A and 5373A. 

The 5372A has hardware accelerated histogram as improvement over the 5371A. I have not found out exactly how the 5373A distinguish itself, it seems like a 5372A hardware with some software improvements.

So, now I will grab some coffee and write another paper on request, polish on one rough draft of another.

Cheers,
Magnus

   Well, if not real, then I will have to go through the process once again.

Now, if only there was a simpler way to get at the test points on the A2 board. (Without the specialized extender).  Thinking of adding temporary cables, from test points, to the top

Any manuals about for the HP-5371?

I now have two hanger queens that may come back to life later.
