Multimeter / Counter 5306A (5306 A)
Country: United States of America (USA) Manufacturer/Brand: Hewlett-Packard, (HP); Palo Alto, CA
Year: 1973 Type: Radio Repair EquipmentAlle Arten von Geräten, die eine Radiowerkstatt im weitesten Sinne umfassen kann - sofern es der Hauptzweck des Apprates bzw. Modelles ist. Mod.-ID = 122496 previous | Result List | next | New search for Radios etc. schematic requested Schematics etc.: 0 (for members) Wave bands n.a.When collecting this field of data I had no information on the wave bands - or this set is not a receiver. Quand je faisait la collection je ne savais rien de ces dates des gammes d`ondes - ou bien l`apparaeil n`est pas un récepteur.
Beim Erfassen dieses Feldes waren mir die Wellenbereiche nicht bekannt - oder der Apparat ist kein Empfänger.

Cet appareil n`a pas d`haut-parleur.
Das Gerät verfügt nicht über einen eingebauten Lautsprecher - entweder weil er nicht nötig ist (Gerät hat keine Tonwiedergabe) oder weil er separat zu stellen ist - bzw. das Gerät ist für Kopfhörerbetrieb.

Dimensions (WHD) 160 x 93 x 265 mm / 6.3 x 3.7 x 10.4 inch
Transistors There are transistors, but the number is unknown
Notes The 5306A Multimeter/Counter is a high accuracy measuring system with the integrated 5300B Measuring part with a large bright 8 digit led display and a resolution of 0.1 Hz. Functions of the 5300B Measuring System: DCV, ACV, FREQ, OHM ith range: 10, 100, 1000V; 10K TO 10M OHMS (Flag light on voltage present). AC can vary +13 to - 17% and 48 to 440 Hz. Line frequency 44 - 440 HZ (good for aircraft power). The 5306A Multimeter/Counter is part of the measuring system HP 5300. You find details in the Hewlett-Packard Journal of June 1973, page 7 to 15. Such Instruments are today refurbished by Agilent.

Hewlett-Packard: 5306A (5306 A); Multimeter / Counter  (15.12.2007)  Ernst ErbHits: 256     Replies: 4 Unfortunately my 5306A Multimeter/Counter with the measuring System 5300B shows only zeros ... I would be grateful if somebody can upload schematics ... But here what I found published in the Hewlett-Packard Journal from June 1973 on page 7 to 15: HP published it and therefore there should not be a problem to publish this tied to the instrument. DMM and DAC Modules Expand Low-Cost Measuring System A five-digit multimeter/ counter module and a three-digit digital-to-analog converter module are new members of the 5300 Measuring System joining the mainframe, battery pack, and four timer/counter modules previously available. by James F. Horner, Lewis W. Masters, and P. Thomas Mingle Altough basically  a counting system, the 5300 Measuring System, as its name implies, isn't limited to counter measurements. The 5300A mainframe, with its six-digit 10 MHz counter, counts a signal presented to it by the snap-on functional module, which contains circuits for function selection and signal shaping. Therefore, any quantity that can be converted to an appropriate frequency by a snap-on module can be measured by the mainframe. The first four snap-on modules were designed for counter-timer measurements. The newest, Model 5306A Multimeter/Counter (Fig. 1), is the first to apply the inherent flexibility of the mainframe to other types of measurements. It offers functions of dc volts, ac volts, ohms, and frequency, all the functions usually found in digital multimeters plus an extra one, frequency. Another new module, Model 5311A Digital-to-Analog Converter, fits between the mainframe and the snap-on functional module. It converts any three digits of the 5300A display to a proportional analog voltage output. It can be used with any snap-on module, and with or without the 5310A Battery Pack, which is also an "in-between" module. The design of Model 5311A is described on page 11. Four-Digit Accuracy, Five-Digit Resolution Model 5306A Multimeter/Counter measures dc voltage in three ranges: ±10 V, ±100 V, and ±1000 V full scale. Ac voltage is measured in ranges of 10 V, 100 V, and 1000 V, and resistance-measurement ranges are 10 kO, 100 kO, and 10 MO full scale. Accuracy specifications are essentially those of a four-digit multimeter. However, for reasons to be explained later, Model 5306A's fifth digit is a full digit, not just an overrange digit, so measurement resolution and dynamic range are those of a five-digit instrument. The effect is to make every range on the 5306A equivalent to two ranges on a typical four-digit meter. For example, in the 100 V range the resolution is 1 mV, so measurements can be made from millivolts to 100 V without changing ranges. When maximum resolution isn't needed and more than two measurements per second are desirable -- for example, when displaying the results of a coarse adjustment --- a FAST sample mode can be selected. Measurements are then ten times faster. Accuracy and resolution are both four digits. In frequency measurements, the 5306A has the full six-digit accuracy and resolution built into the 5300A mainframe. Frequency range is 40 Hz to 10 MHz. The FAST sample mode can also be used for frequency measurements, again with one less digit of resolution.   Fig. 1 Two new modules tor the 5300 Measuring System are Model 5306A Multimeter/ Counter (bottom module of instrument in foreground) and Model 5311A Digital-to-Analog Converte
