SCOPE study package for PC (accessory)

Customer Review

I have never owned or used an oscilloscope in my life. But for the repair of an electronic organ I needed one and did not want to spend too much money for it. I need it only for measurements in the low frequency range (audible frequencies). But this little thing is wonderfully suited.

What you need of course: a reasonable electronics soldering iron, experience and patience.

The instructions are easy to understand (if you can speak English) and adequately illustrated. Most components are stuck in "belts" and can be worked in sequence, the 3 ICs are socketed. Placement and soldering went well out of hand, but it go already 3-4 hours there, if you work carefully and frequently reviewed. The time I have, that's no problem, and it's fun too, especially when it's then work right away.

An intuitive control software does the rest. Oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer in a single unit to operate everything via USB to the PC. And the nice thing: the need not to be fast times. My 15 year old laptop running Windows XP and USB1.1 interface is enough. The help file is quite detailed, so that you can quickly familiarize themselves with the matter, some questions remain unanswered, unfortunately (here will help Internet search).

Quickly the +/- list:

+ Reasonable price
+ Good Guide
+ Easy assembly
+ Unassuming regarding PC performance
+ Very good software

- Test leads too short and too stiff (immediately replaced by others)
- Cover plate only cardboard
- Soil not isolated (one probably will me a housing arrangements)
- German instructions difficult to understand (the English is good)

Who needs accurate measurement results up into the high-frequency range, which is with this device probably badly served, especially since even any kind of shielding is missing. But if you want just want to quickly pursue a low-frequency signal (frequency measurement) or other simple measurements, which can be happy with this - if a laptop etc. its own calls, and a PC in the workshop has.

Overall, this kit is recommended.
