Multifunctional digital storage oscilloscopes

March 2000 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Escort's 300 Series of digital storage oscilloscopes feature a 4000 count autoranging DMM, TRMS measurement and a 10 ppm time base accuracy.

Other features include RS232 communication, 329 x 240 pixel backlit display with 20 screens of memory storage and a recall function. They are lightweight and conveniently packaged in a carrying case making them useful multifunctional troubleshooting field instruments.

Three models are available with dual channels and bandwidths up to 20 MHz. Automatic set-up, peak-to-peak voltage capture, as well as a 20 MHz, 8-channel logic scope is offered. The 320C/320E models feature a selectable TTL/CMOS level and time/state mode.

A 1 Hz to 20 MHz frequency counter, a 7-digit reciprocal counter and a frequency/period mode are also included. The oscilloscopes meet EN61010 and IEC-1010 requirements, and are powered by a rechargeable NiCd battery. Various accessories are included such as test leads, carrying case and an AC to DC adapter.
