Features - BK Precision 1541D Manual De Instruccion

LOW COST, HIGH PERFORMANCE
B+K Precision's 40 MHz and 60 MHz oscilloscopes are
among the lowest cost in the industry, yet offer high
performance and features not found on many competitors'
oscilloscopes. Model 2160A includes a built-in component
tester, which is an excellent tool for in-circuit troubleshoot-
ing. These oscilloscopes are built by and backed by B+K
Precision, a compnay that has been selling reliable, durable,
value priced test instruments for over 50 years.
CRT FEATURES
Rectangular CRT
Rectangular CRT with large 8 x 10 centimeter viewing
area. On Model 2160A, graticule is equipped with
variable scale illumination.
Convenience
Trace rotation electrically adjustable from front panel.
0%, 10%, 90%, and 100% markers for rise time meas-
urements.
DUAL TRACE FEATURES
Dual Trace
Models 2160A and 1541D each have two vertical input
channels for displaying two waveforms simultane-
ously. Selectable single trace (either CH 1 or CH 2) or
dual trace. Alternate or chop sweep selectable at all
sweep rates.
Sum and Difference Capability
Permits algebraic addition or subtraction of channel 1
and channel 2 waveforms, displayed as a single trace.
Useful for differential voltage and distortion measure-
ments.
HIGH FREQUENCY FEATURES
Wide Bandwidth
Conservatively-rated −3 dB bandwidth is dc to 60
MHz for Model 2160A and dc to 40 MHz for Model
1541D.
Fast Rise Time
Rise time is less than 5.8 ns for Model 2160A and
8.8 ns for Model 1541D.
Fast Sweep
Maximum sweep speed of 10 ns/div (with X10 MAG)
assures high frequencies and short-duration pulses are
displayed with high resolution.

FEATURES

VERTICAL FEATURES
High Sensitivity
5 mV/div sensitivity for full bandwidth. High-sen-
sitivity 1 mV/div and 2 mV/div using PULL X5 gain
control.
Calibrated Voltage Measurements
Accurate voltage measurements (±3%) on 10 cali-
brated ranges from 5 mV/div to 5 V/ div. Vertical gain
fully adjustable between calibrated ranges.
SWEEP FEATURES
Calibrated Time Measurements
Accurate (±3%) time measurements. The main sweep
has 23 calibrated ranges from 2 S/div to 0.1 µS/div.
The delayed sweep on the Model 2160A has 23 cali-
brated ranges from 2 S/div to 0.1 µS/div. Sweep time
is fully adjustable between calibrated ranges.
X10 Sweep Magnification
Allows closer examination of waveforms, increases
maximum sweep rate to 10 nS/div.
DUAL TIME BASE FEATURES
Dual Sweep Generators
Main sweep gives normal waveform display, delayed
sweep may be operated at faster sweep speed to expand
a portion of the waveform.
Four Sweep Modes
Choice of main sweep only, delayed sweep only,
main sweep and delayed sweep sharing the trace
(percentage of main/delayed sweep adjustable), or
X−Y.
Adjustable Start Of Delayed Sweep
DELAY TIME POSition control allows adjustment of
delayed sweep starting point.
TRIGGERING FEATURES
Two Trigger Modes
Selectable normal (triggered) or automatic sweep
modes.
Triggered Sweep
Sweep remains at rest unless adequate trigger signal is
applied. Fully adjustable trigger level and (+) or (−)
slope.
