On one side are channels A and B and the signal generator. [20110629193306.jpg 20110629193347.jpg 20110629193357.jpg 20110629193410.jpg 20110629193428.jpg 20110629194517.jpg 20110629194526.jpg 20110629195029.jpg 20110629195123.jpg]
 The other side has channels C and D, the power button and the USB connection for charging and accessing the flash memory. [20110629193306.jpg 20110629193347.jpg 20110629193357.jpg 20110629193410.jpg 20110629193428.jpg 20110629194517.jpg 20110629194526.jpg 20110629195029.jpg 20110629195123.jpg]
 And the top has the controls. [20110629193306.jpg 20110629193347.jpg 20110629193357.jpg 20110629193410.jpg 20110629193428.jpg 20110629194517.jpg 20110629194526.jpg 20110629195029.jpg 20110629195123.jpg]
 Booting shows the version numbers (device is upgradable). [20110629193306.jpg 20110629193347.jpg 20110629193357.jpg 20110629193410.jpg 20110629193428.jpg 20110629194517.jpg 20110629194526.jpg 20110629195029.jpg 20110629195123.jpg]
 I did a quick check to see if all is working by connecting channel A to the signal generator. [20110629193306.jpg 20110629193347.jpg 20110629193357.jpg 20110629193410.jpg 20110629193428.jpg 20110629194517.jpg 20110629194526.jpg 20110629195029.jpg 20110629195123.jpg]
 After fidling a bit with the controls (they’re not that intuitive) I managed to get the trigger working and display a stable wave on the screen. [20110629193306.jpg 20110629193347.jpg 20110629193357.jpg 20110629193410.jpg 20110629193428.jpg 20110629194517.jpg 20110629194526.jpg 20110629195029.jpg 20110629195123.jpg]
 The unit also shows frequency and dutycyle, which are going to be handy for the work I’m going to do with it. First impression is that it should be a usable device, nice and portable. Bit difficult to control, will take some getting used to. Will have to see how it holds up with some real usage :) |
