Pretty handy, mine lives in my tub of One Strike.

I found specific testers much easier to use on site have a BBV and a Ranger.

Resoldering the leads on the lens plug as they where and different pinout. ..and which muppet bought CS lenses for these C cameras..

Ah the good old days, diagnosing intermittent issues up a pole in the rain, measuring for peak and sync on cameras that actually had pots to adjust them.

Bell delay for E/E timeout? For some reason called "Dual Ply" delay on Scanny.

No, paper programming manuals do not come with any commercial grade panel. You maybe lucky and get a CD with the controls. Also the manual is revised regularly due to updates in both hardware and software, so your old manual while helpful may not cover everything.

Running another cable would always be the preferred option. Alternatively wireless, not having a strobe connected or commoning the strobe and bell trig. Latter can have issues with some boxes.
