Sencore SC3100 User Manual

Now Touch And Test Any Circuit Test Point

And Make Autoranged Error Free Measurements

The SC3100 offers:

A Complete Waveform And
Circuit Analyzing System

Measure circuit parameters and view all
of the waveforms shown in any service
literature with one complete unit. The

SC3100 is guaranteed to increase your

analyzing capabilities with the push of a
button.

Auto-Tracking Digital Readout Of
Waveform Voltage And Frequency

Measure the key parameters of any
waveform with one probe connection, at
the push of a button, for fast and
accurate troubleshooting.

Integrated Measurements Of
All Circuit Parameters

There’s no need for a separate DVM
to analyze the rest of the circuit para-

meters Measure ohms and current

with an integrated, complete circuit

analyzer that provides you with

troubleshooting answers.

In A Fraction Of The Time!

Full Performance, 100 MHz,
Dual Trace Oscilloscope

View any waveform quickly, easily, and

more accurately. The “fiddle free” trigger
controls provide rock solid viewing of any

signal and include a special TV mode for

complex video waveforms. No signal is
too large or too small with our exclusive
2 mV to 2 kV input range.

Exclusive Autoranged Timebase
And Vertical Attenuators

No more time wasted turning knobs.
Simply set the timebase and channel
attenuators to Auto and view the
waveform without resetting the controls
as you step through the circuit. This allows
you to concentrate on the circuit - not

the equipment.

Digital Delta Measurements
To Analyze Every Portion Of
Any Waveform

Highlight any part of a waveform with
Sencore’s exclusive Delta Bar and
analyze the amplitude, absolute DC,
time, or frequency. No more wasting time
on graticule counting or setting cursors.

All Functions Microprocessor

Integrated For Ease Of Use

The SC3100’s analyzing speed will
increase your servicing capability. All
measurements are based on digital
circuits, not the analog CRT, for fast, easy,
and accurate readings. There are no
hidden menus, no multiple function
buttons, no complicated setups, and no
confusing on-screen displays. Just push a
button and read the results on the LCD
display. The ‘AUTO TRACKER"™ eliminates
any chance of measurement errors.
