[time-nuts] New Acquisition: HP-53132A

[Michael Perrett]

According to the manual (in several places):

*It is normal operation for the fan in the Counter to continue to run after
the Counter is*
*placed in Standby mode. Power to the timebase is continuous to maintain
long term*
*measurement reliability, and the fan helps maintain timebase temperature
stability.*

 perhaps a in-line AC switch?
