What is really needed is the ability to zoom in on a chosen area. As the software stands today, you can drag the screen right or left, but with a deep buffer, may have to drag literally hundreds of screens to get to the point of interest.

Speaking of scrolling, there are no scroll bars, a serious user interface deficiency.

The trace buffer is usually deep enough to capture what you want, but it might take several tries, and/or you might have to scroll through a lot of data.

The triggering has no noise filter on it, so is very erratic.

If you want AC, youвЂ™ll need to build your own test jig. The instrumentation says 2 MHz, but note that I have the cursor set to measure 10 cycles.ДЄnd now, some of the drawbacks of the 6022BE:

But then, I took the following trace: Surprisingly, the scope was able to show this ringing at over 20 MHz. ItвЂ™s advertised as a 20 MHz scope, but thatвЂ™s basically the Nyquist rate, so I thought it was marketing hype.

Although the actual design might not need it, I will put space for such a series resistor on the PC board just in case. I put a 15О© resistor between the complementary pair and the gate of the power MOSFET, and measured at the gate again: With a 15О© series resistor on the gate of the power MOSFET, the ringing is mostly gone. This is likely more representative of what the real circuit will do on a PC board.

The following trace was taken at the driver instead of the gate of the transistor: The ringing is not severe at the actual complementary pair output. Some of the ringing above is a consequence of my test setup, which has a foot-long wire going to the gate of the transistor, and a foot-long ground return. Below is a trace with the ringing dragged up where we can see it: The trace is moved up to show the ringing more clearly. To pan the trace right or left, I simply drag it, like a Google map. The trigger level can be adjusted in a similar manner. To move the channel 1 trace up and down, all I have to do is drag the yell ow вЂњ1вЂќ label up and down.

The scope didnвЂ™t come with a manual, but IвЂ™m slowly figuring out how to use it. The transitions are quick, but that falling edge rings like the phone of a guy who just won the lottery. The next thing I tried was a complementary pair of small MOSFETS as a driver: Note that the incoming pulse had to be inverted in software. Okay, so I got rid of the resistor, and drove the MOSFET directly from the processor pin: Better, but IвЂ™m still not happy with the risetime. As a side note, observe the little nick in the rising waveform, marking the place where the transistor turns on and starts charging the Miller capacitance. Any time the transistor isnвЂ™t fully on or fully off, itвЂ™s wasting power.

ItвЂ™s like 4 ОјS for each transistion, which is horrible, considering this is only a 4.7 ОјS pulse. A train of positive-going pulses is input on the left No wonder the MOSFET was burning up! Look at that crappy rise and fall time. R5 is driven directly from a processor output pin. Below is the troublesome driver circuit for the main power MOSFET. This was a tough problem to diagnose without a scope, but is now trivial. My first use of this scope was to debug an overheating problem on a DC-DC converter circuit. There is also the handy feature of time, voltage, and frequency measurement by just dragging a cursor. It is, of course, a storage scope, and can send output directly to a printer, or save it in a variety of file formats, including bitmap and spreadsheet. This model has most of the features of the analog scopes of yesteryear, including a built-in calibration source. For that paltry price, I got the scope, two probes that are settable for x1 or x10, and the software. Not since Adventures in Babysitting have I had such low expectations for something, and been so pleasantly surprised.

I bought this instrument on eBay for $69.14, with free shipping. And by the way, the Hantek has no line cord вЂ“ it draws all it needs from USB, though its PC connection. The line cord alone of an old analog oscilloscope might outweigh this tiny model. The Hantek 6022be digital oscilloscope weighs 13.3 ounces, and is a wonderful example of how technology gets cheaper and better with time. Two channel, 48 Msps digital scope weighs 13.3 ounces Today, if I dropped this scope on my foot, I would be more worried about the scope than my foot. When I was in high school, if someone said they dropped an oscilloscope on their foot, it would be cause to go to the office for first aid, or possibly even call an ambulance.
