BK Precision 2530B Digital Storage Oscilloscope

The 2530B Digital Storage Oscilloscope delivers essential features and reliable performance at a price you can afford. Analog style knobs and controls combined with a smart Auto set function make this oscilloscope easy to use. Advanced triggering, automatic measurements, and FFT functions provide you with many options to debug your circuits. Educators can appreciate the ability to disable the Auto button that would automatically setup the scope to display a signal, requiring the user to learn how to set up scope parameters manually. Additionally, the instrument comes with PC software that lets you easily capture, analyze, and document waveforms and measurement results. The 2530B is an ideal education and training tool, and also well-suited for applications in service and repair.

The BK Precision 879B 40,000-count handheld LCR meter measures inductance, capacitance, and resistance quickly and precisely. Additionally, the 879B supports remote control using SCPI commands and can calculate impedance, Θ, and ESR, features typically found only in bench LCR meters.

Fast auto ranging and quick measurement configuration such as measurement parameter and test frequency selection make the 879B very simple to operate. The meter also includes handy functions such as data hold, Min/Max/Average recording, tolerance sorting, and relative mode.

Measurement data can continuously transfer to a PC via the meter's mini USB interface, using either the provided data logging software or SCPI commands sent from a custom program.

BK 1550 Switching DC Power Supply with USB Charger Output 1-36V, 0-3A

The model 1550 is a compact 108 watt power supply delivering 1-36V and 0-3A from its main isolated output. A unique feature of the 1550 supply is the USB 1.1 charging port located on the front panel allowing the user to charge a cell phone or MP3 player. Clean power and quiet operation make this power supply ideal for laboratories, work shops, and schools where bench space is limited.

BK 1673 Triple Output DC Power Supply (2) 0-32V, 0-6A/(1)5V, 3A

The model 1673 is a Quad Display Triple Output DC Regulated Power Supply that provides one fixed output (5V/ 3A) and two variable outputs (0 -- 32V/ 0 -- 6A) ratings. The four displays allow the user to continuously monitor the voltage and current values of the two main outputs. The variable outputs can work independently, or in series tracking, or parallel mode. Conveniently adjust voltage and current with independent front panel knobs and bright quad LED display.

The BK Precision 1673 is designed to operate in a constant voltage or a constant current mode with automatic crossover, allowing continuous transition from constant current to constant voltage modes in response to load condition changes.

The 1673 power supply is ideally suited for applications in electronic test, production, and service, where multiple independent DC power supply is required.
