Some 7K plug-ins have TV sync such as a 7B53A I have. Would that work? Lots of plug-in out there. Bob

Huh? Is this about the PDF viewer? I am running Win7 64 bit and have set the program to open a PDF by default. I have a 485 PDF open right now. I have set a book mark to the attenuator diagram page 12
