channel benchtop oscilloscope. The new features are:
auto-scale, FFT, and trigger hold — normally found on
more expensive instruments.
moving waveforms with previous scans. X-Y display allows
you to see phase changes. A+B and A-B math capability is
also included.

• Autoscale can be set to automatically adjust the vertical
gain, the horizontal time base, or both together. This is
useful for circuit probing — as the probe is moved from
point to point on a circuit board, the display auto-adjusts
for best trace presentation. It functions in the same
manner as ‘AutoSet’ but instead of being a one-time
function, it’s active until turned off, keeping the hands
free.

PROTOTYPING BOARDS
Low cost, two-channel PDS5022S units have useful
features normally only seen on higher-end DSOs, such as
video trigger, auto-measurements, large 8” full color LCD
display, 100 MS/s sampling, XY mode, auto-set, averaging,
math functions, USB output, waveform storage, and a
three year warranty. A PDS5022S can automatically
measure and display frequency and peak-peak/rms/mean
values; cursors can also be moved to make individual
readings. A built-in self-calibration facility improves
measurement accuracy. Video monitoring is also possible
since you can trigger on NTSC/PAL/SECAM line or field
waveforms. The PDS5022 offers on-board storage and USB
output, making this series an ideal choice for design,
maintenance, and lab use. PDS5022 features include:
manual cursor measurements; up to five automatic
measurements; high-speed screen update; storage for up
to four waveforms and set-up parameters; 6 KBytes/ch
memory; convenient serial interface
with software; 400V (DC+AV peak)
maximum input; and optional
rechargeable battery pack, etc. It has
multi-language capabilities, as well.
This lightweight scope is perfect
for any engineer’s or student’s desk.
The USB connection makes printing
stored results simple. With a large
7. 8” 640 x 480 color LCD, PDS5022S
is small enough and light enough to
carry anywhere. With a buffer size of
6K samples, PDS5022S’ sampling
range is 10 Sa/s to 100 MSa/s with
synchronous eight-bit sampling on
both channels. Sensitivity range is 5
mV/div~5V/div with a maximum
display of ±50V. Another useful
feature is the ability to store four
waveforms for comparison with live
inputs. A persistence control is
available as well, which simulates old
analog scopes to compare slow-
Hand Soldering SMT Connectors
SchmartBoard, a company that makes prototyping electronic circuits easier, has announced a new family
of boards for prototyping with SMT (Surface-Mount
Technology) connectors. These boards support SMT
connectors from companies such as Hirose, Molex,
Samtec, and Tyco, and pitches of . 4 mm, . 5 mm, 8 mm,
1.0 mm, and 1.27 mm. They also use the patented
SchmartBoard|ez technology which is their solution for
hand soldering surface-mount components.
The suggested retail for the boards is $9.99 each or
10 packs for $80.
