Handheld Digital Storage Oscilloscopes

2510 Series

The 2510 Series handheld digital storage
oscilloscopes provide floating measurement
and recorder capabilities with a built-in digital
multimeter (DMM), all in one portable and
lightweight package. These versatile 60 MHz
and 100 MHz bandwidth scopes offer 1 GSa/s
sample rates, 2 Mpts waveform memory, 32
automatic measurements, and multiple recording
functions to capture transient or long-term signal
behavior.

The built-in 6000-count multimeter allows users
to quickly switch over from an oscilloscope to a
DMM to measure DC/AC voltage and current,
resistance, and capacitance, including diode and
continuity tests.

These handheld scopes feature many useful
recording functions such as trend plot, which
allows data logging from the scope or
multimeter. Additionally, the scope recorder
function offers users 7 Mpts record length on
a single channel or 3.5 Mpts on dual channel.

The 2510 Series handheld oscilloscopes are
ideal for industrial applications, power systems,
electronics design, and field test and service.

The tools you need

2 Mpts Deep Memory

See more details in your waveform with deep
memory. When enabled, waveforms can be
captured in high resolution while maintaining a
high sample rate over a wider period of time than
other comparable scopes.

Powerful Measurement Functions

Display and measure the input signal’s frequency
spectrum. Select one of the 4 FFT windows:
Rectangular, Hanning, Hamming, and Blackman.
Use cursors to measure the spectral component’s
magnitude and frequency.

Built-in Digital Multimeter

Speed up troubleshooting with the built-in 6000-count
multimeter. Measurement functions include AC/DC
voltage and current, resistance, capacitance, diode, and
continuity test.

Scope and Waveform Recorder Modes

Monitor and analyze long-term signal behavior by
recording data continuously over a period of time.
These modes allow recorded data to be played back
for post acquisition analysis.

Scope and Meter Trend Plot Functions

Scope Trend Plot

Meter Trend Plot

Capture intermittent errors in your system.
The trend plot function can be used with the
oscilloscope or built-in DMM to plot measurement
values over time. Up to two voltage or time
parameters can be selected by the scope, and any
one of the multimeter’s measurement functions
can be graphed. These data points can then be
exported to a CSV file for further analysis.

PC Connectivity

Digital Filtering

Filter out unwanted signal components such as
various types of noise with built-in digital filters.
Choose from Low-Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass,
and Band-Stop filters.

Portable Operation

Quickly troubleshoot in the field using battery
powered operation. Built for portability, the 2510
Series handheld digital oscilloscopes are rugged,
compact, and lightweight. Models 2515 and 2516
come standard with travel hard case for safe
transport on the road.

PC software provided (free download from
www.bkprecision.com) for seamless integration
between the oscilloscope and PC. Capture and
transfer waveforms, screen images, setups and
measurement results to a Windows PC via the USB
device port on the side of the instrument. A USB
host port is also available for quick and easy screen
saving.
