Saelig Company, Inc. announced new features for the PDS5022S 25MHz two-channel benchtop oscilloscope. The new features are: Auto-scale, FFT, and trigger hold, normally found on much more expensive instruments.
Autoscale can be set to automatically adjust the vertical gain, or 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.
FFT allows users to instantly see the frequency spectrum of the signal under test.
Trigger Hold allows users to introduce a delay relative to the trigger point so that a different part of the signal can be seen.
The PDS5022S is packed with useful features normally only seen on higher-end DSO's: video trigger, auto-measurements, large full color LCD display, 100MS/s sampling, XY Mode, auto- set, averaging, math functions, USB output, waveform storage, etc. PDS5022S can automatically measure and display frequency and peak-peak/rms/mean values, but 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. PDS5022 offers on-board storage, and USB output, suiting the PDS series for design, maintenance, and lab use. PDS5022’s features include: manual cursor measurements, up to five automatic measurements, high-speed screen update, storage for up to four waveforms & set-up parameters, 6KBytes/ch memory, convenient serial interface with software, 400V (DC+AV peak) maximum input, optional rechargeable Battery Pack, etc. PDS5022S has multi-language capabilities too.
With a buffer size of 6K samples, PDS5022S’ sampling range is 10Sa/s to 100MSa/s with synchronous 8-bit sampling on both channels. Sensitivity range is 5mV/div~5V/div with maximum display of ±50V. Another feature is the ability to store four waveforms for comparison with live inputs. A persistence control is available too which simulates old analog scopes to compare slow-moving waveforms with previous scans. X-Y display allows you to see phase changes. A+B and A-B math capability is also included.
