HTC -5020C Dual Trace Oscilloscope, 5020C Dual Trace Oscilloscope User manual

  • Hello! I have reviewed the user manual for the 20 MHz, 25 MHz, 30 MHz, 40 MHz, and 50 MHz dual-channel oscilloscopes. This document provides detailed instructions on operation, specifications, and maintenance, including information on features like high-intensity CRT, alternate triggering, and X-Y operation. I'm ready to answer your questions.
  • What is the maximum input voltage?
    What is the sweep time range?
    What are the trigger source options?
