What does "w/n" stand for?
Does anybody know? Is it an abbreviation of "when"???
The sentence I found "w/n" in is:
"Dimensional masters w/n zero..." or
"Transfer robot between Lo and Hi temp chambers crashed, w/n reset..."
Thanks in advance.

would not
- Dimensional masters would not zero - something to do with dimensional accuracy
- Transfer robot.... crashed, would not reset
Not very common abbreviation, seems to be favoured by techies.
1996 Honda Accord 4 cyl engine turns over but w/n start. Have replaced battery, coil, plugs...
...but after waiting and trying again it would start.

Thank you. I was fairly sure about it.

with no
w/o stands for without, and in the sentences you provide, "with no" seems to fit...I prefer to see the complete sentence, though. if the word after w/n is a noun, "with no" may fit, but if the word after w/n is a verb, it may not.
Note from asker:
| That's what I also thought... but it doesn't really make sence in the context. Thank you for your help, though. |

within
It may fit in the context. HTH.
Note from asker:
| I thought it was a typo of "within", but this person uses "w/n" twice in separate sentences. Thanks anyway. |
