After five years and a few prototype revisions of the Version 2.12 Programmable Voltage reference, I decided it was time to update the project based on many requests and lessons learned from prototypes over the years.

The HP 11456A Read Out Test Card is a nifty little test board that plugs into the HP 3470 series display modules. I really wish that I had had one of these, before I started working on my faulty HP 34740A display module.
As mentioned in a previous post on the Hewlett Packard 34702A Multimeter module, I have been looking for a 34740A display module to pair with it. I was lucky to find a module that was in a good cosmetic condition and untested for a reasonable price.
When I purchased my HP 34750A Display module, it came with a somewhat beat-up 34702A Multimeter module. I was mainly interested in the display module to pair up with my existing HP 34703A module, but this is also an interesting module worthy of further exploration.
