[time-nuts] Question about samplers

If the schematics are available then you can reverse engineer a solution or
adaptation.
the other thing I do is hunt down the hp journal for the device that used
them and when it was introduced. Often the article will give you a fair
hint as to whats going on.
However the real detail of sample pulse behavior and even power supply
voltages are going to be a guess and gamble. Some modules have helpful
markings. Like agc or +12V.. But again its a real guess.
Regards
Paul
