Hello,
Somebody knows where to get and how to install the option 100 (cable fault
location)

Only software ? or any hadware to install inside the HP 8714
This modification must be done only in a HP factory , or what else ..?..
( This equipement is too old for Agilnt/HP = no answer..)
Could you give me some details about this modification
Thanks a lot - Renaud
 
Hi Renaud,
you need the password to enable it.
I did a little reverse engineering on the firmware of my own 8711, and
I discovered the way to transform it into the full options 8712 (with
the cable fault option too).
The only problem is that you must have to reprogram the bootrom on the
CPU board to do that mod.
You need an eprom/flash programmer and a little knowledge in hex file
editing/handling.
As far I know, the 8714 has the same CPU structure of the 8711, except
for little differences for the version (A, B, C, D or Ex) the firmware
is the same.
If you want it, I can send you the pdf with the instructions to do the
job. Just give me you email address.

That seems like too much work to me...and I doubt it will
work...although I know it will successfully transform an 8711 to 8712
and 8713 to an 8714. While I have the code to generate any password, I
am not sure if my managers will allow it...but I can ask. It should not
matter much to Agilent since there is no longer any method to purchase
this option...in fact, I doubt anyone even has the code to do it except
for a very small handful of people.

In any case, I would need the serial number of the 8714ES. Also useful
would be a brief explanation of how this will be used...is this personal
use, corporate use, or educational use? Anything I can use to build a
case would be nice.

Now if only you could deposit a large sum of money into my Swiss bank
account :)

Let me know,
CV

Hi Caesar,
nice to read you again.
Hope all goes well there in Santa Rosa.
Here In Italy the great cold is coming and we are preparing to fight
against the incoming flu viruses.

I read your worry about the corporate or commercial use of it.
You are right, I wrote a warning about it into the disclaimer section
of the pdf.

Anyways, I guess Rednaud is an ham radio like me, since he ended some
messages with the typical greeting "73".

Have anice day.
