Have you tried the 9610 yet?  Apparently, someone left a few characters out of the program, and the output power has to be done manually..

I just wish the engineers would run this stuff before publishing the procedures..

Ah well, 12 years to social security

I thought that was pretty funny too. Kind of an unfortunate choice of acronyms, silly metrologists...

Enough about that, I have to get back to work at the American Institute for Design Standards...

Damn I'm going to miss that one and the next one too.   I'm attending class for the next 2 months on the "Dynamic Understanding of Metrology Basics And Simple Statistics".   Then I have to return to my full time job as the "Director Of Product Enhancements" for YoyoDyne.

I suspect most here are familiar with it, there was another that I recall seeing and it was hosted/narrated by John Aston of Adams Family fame, anyone know where to find it?
