[time-nuts] Sw for pm6680B

[GandalfG8 at aol.com]

Hi Pierre-Francois
 
Assuming yours is the Ebay item I think it is, I was wondering  who bought 
that and see there's another due to finish in a couple  of hours or so:-)
 
The Fluke PM6680B is a rebadged Pendulum CNT-80, Pendulum now being part of 
 Spectracom.
Both Fluke and Tektronix, and perhaps others, have offered rebadged  
Pendulum counters and TimeView too was originally a Pendulum product.
 
Whilst time limited trial versions of TimeView have been widely available I 
 don't know if these are supplier specific, ie whether or not the Tektronix 
 version I have will work with other rebadged units or even with the 
Pendulum  originals.
Either way, each supplier seems to offer it's own branded version of  
TimeView and these have always been very expensive, I've never seen it  available 
second hand but suspect registration might not be transferable  anyway.
 
As Bjorn has pointed out, John Miles' TimeLab supports the PM6680B and that 
 would certainly seem to be your best option.
 
Regards

Hi the  Gang,

I just got not cheap but for a quite reasonnable price a legacy  Fluke 
PM6680B counter.
This toy seems to be very interesting to play  with, I already have a 
5370B but this new toy I got seems to be more fancy  to play with, have 
to be confirmed.
I know there is a software from  Fluke names TimeView, is it possible to 
get a copy of it?
Are there any  other software running under Windows XP and/or w7 I could 
use?
Any help  will be appreciated.

All the bests to you.
