The 3458A does have a vacuum fluorescent display and they do go bad over time. I've seen lots of them with bad displays. Replacements are expensive... they are a custom HP part only available from HP. ----------------------------No vacuum fluorescent disply to worry about

Is there a command to turn the display Off? On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 10:28 AM, Mark Sims <holrum@hotmail.com> wrote: > The 3458A does have a vacuum fluorescent display and they do go bad over > time.

The hardware interface is pretty simple though, so it wouldn't be hard to create a replacement. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
