DSO138 Digital Oscilloscope With TFT 2.4" Display

DSO138 digital oscilloscope is a popular DIY digital oscilloscope kit. It's a low-cost oscilloscope designed for electronics enthusiasts and hobbyists to build their own oscilloscope for personal use.

A digital storage oscilloscope (often abbreviated DSO) is an oscilloscope that stores and analyses the signal digitally. It is now the most common type of oscilloscope in use because of the advanced trigger, storage, display and measurement features that it typically provides.

This kit includes everything you need to build your very own, fully functional, digital oscilloscope. Once you have got it up and running, the oscilloscope features up to 5M samples/second, 8-bit resolution, up to 50Vpp max input voltage, and more.

This kit includes a semi-populated PCB, with all of the surface mount components already soldered on for you. The components left for you to solder are all through-hole. This is on the higher end of difficulty as far as through-hole kits go.

DSO138 Digital Oscilloscope Features:

• This kit uses ARM Cortex-M3 processor, and includes a 2.4-inch color TFT display screen.
• With automatic, regular and one-shot modes, easy to capture the moment waveform
• Can be secondary developed to millivolt meter, data loggers
• Adjustable vertical displacement, and with instructions
• Available rising or falling edge trigger
• Observable previous trigger waveform (negative delay)
• Can freeze at any time waveform display (HOLD function)
• Comes 1Hz / 3.3V square wave test signal source
• Waveform storage: not lose the waveform after power off
• Short-circuit and open-circuit detection: can help the user find out the soldering error
