[Techtoolslist] Fluke scripts...

[Matt Rossiter]

Well,

I wrote some very small scripts that might be handy if you want to modify
them.
One is a script that allows you send data to the Atari POKEYs based on the
CAT box procedures.
It toggles the different channels on and off alot easier, but I just get
white noise and not actual "tones" like I'd expect.
I'm not much of a programmer but maybe it can be useful.

While we are on the subject of writing stuff, I haven't been able to find
anywhere procedures for
doing signature analysis on Star Wars, so I wired up a 6809E nop fixture
and documented signatures
myself.

What I'd love to do is figure out a procedure for doing signature analysis
on the Mathbox portion.
I'm wondering if this can easily be done by grounding the diag test point
and setting the dipswitches
a certain way?  Just wondering if someone has already done this?

Anyway, I can do a separate thread about that some time.

I too would be interested in some new fluke scripts.

Matt
