Source? unlikely. Rest of system? I'd hope not, thought it would have been fun to watch

What is the measured voltage across the entire Zener string?

Yeah. Click on the far right tab after logging in and acknowledging the error that then pops up.

You got it. Found this which looks like its a lab exercise .... http://www.atela.uhp-nancy.fr/docs/documents/Traceur_de_courbe.pdf

I have no patience for condescension . One thumb down in the Head-Case Colosseum from me.

Also, the newest Tapatalk update on 5 is super zippy. Still crippled in many ways, but at least it's not slow.

It seems Spritzer just isolated that variable rather handily.

Battery life seems much better on my 3GS with 5. Now I need Skype to integrate their messaging better.

Fortunately, they haven't started trying yet.

I use a USB to GPIB adapter. NI makes a pci-e version.

Actually, the max working voltage is <= 500V

all you need to validate is a multimeter. If you have a scope and a function generator, it's easier. How? Setup a circuit that varies Ib of the transistor. Stick some sort of resistor on the emitter. Stick the X channel on the emitter and the Y channel on the collector. Stick your function generator on the collector and DC bias the transistor and sweep Vce essentially. Stick the scope in XY mode. Capture the waveform. Change Ib, capture again. Repeat. If you don't have a scope and a AC source? Well just manually plot the IV curve for a few values.

Nice! Does the 34401A have gpib? I could use a second DMM.... I cannot afford another Keithley though.

Inu also made circuit changes to the batteries that no one else has.

Spritzer, did you ever get yours working properly? I have some oscillation, no 'noise' though. I'm using Dale resistors in the batteries, as the Xicon are slightly inductive I have found. I think my issue is related to the position of the feedback resistors, and I haven't had a chance to verify that.

Also, does Dubbonet in a recipe imply French or Italian vermouth?

So, shockingly good........ Alaska Cocktail (Stork) 2 oz gin 3/4 oz yellow chartreuse Stir and serve in a 3 oz. cocktail glass

I'm sure this is another cocktail, but it turned out to taste nice, but kinda smells funny: 1.5 oz vintage bourbon 0.25 oz mandarine peychauds lump of sugar lemon rind old-fashioned prep

2:1:1 margarita with Espolon Reposado, Napoleon Mandarine and Lime Juice. Better.

Well, it is Austin, not San Francisco. For what it's worth, I have had bartenders at Clock do the same thing to me when ordering a 'dealers choice'. I like that bar though, so I guess you'll have to shoot the messenger Playing with the Neapolitan. Not a huge fan in a margarita or with soda. That vegetal taste Al describes isn't great. Any particular receipe recommendations to try?

Then there is evidence that matching doesn't even matter, take Hannes (h_a at DiyA) often disregarded tests using an AP. I'd expect him to take this route in fact, but again he is simply unaware of anything but his own observations and assumptions.
