Hi all -- my bad on the title and question -- I need the dimensions of the PIs for the 5000 series scopes. Hope someone can help...

Mechanically, the TM500 and 5000 'scope PIs are identical. The ONLY difference is the card-edge connector keying slots. They are not compatible electrically. In fact, the TM500 MFs and the 5000 'scope MFs are often damaged by shoving in the wrong PI. I posted the TM500 dimensions earlier. Tge 5000 'scoipe are the same. -John ================== > Hi all -- my bad on the title and question -- I need the dimensions of the > PIs for the 5000 series scopes.

I forgot to add, the TM5000 are also identical mechanically to the TM500 and 5000 'scopes. The TM5000 and TM500 are sometimes electrically compatible, but don't bet on it. Compatibility is a case-by-case thing. FYI: 5000 PIs are identified: 5Axx, 5Bxx, 5Cxx, 5Lxx ... (digit 5; letter for function; two digit sequence) TM500 PIs are identified: AM50x, DC50x, PS50x ... (two letter function; numbers 50; one digit sequence) TM5000 PIs are identified: DM5001, PS5004, ... (two letter function; numbers 500; one digit sequence) -John ==================== > Mechanically, the TM500 and 5000 'scope PIs are identical.

The TM5000 plugins usually have a GPIB card sticking out the back and if so, will not fit into most TM500 mainframes. Some of the GPIB cards can be retracted, but most can't. Mark
