It was about time, this scope is exactly what I need.
I needed better accuracy for some old project and no existing oscilloscope had gravity compensated oscillator. Compensating for the other stuff is relatively easy temperature, humidity, time of the day and such, but compensating for gravity it is more difficult.
I’ve found a DIY solution to achieve gravity compensation. Basically we fixed the oscilloscope in a device which allowed it to spin on one axis. After some experiments we’ve found that about 3000 rpm gave the best gravity compensation. It was difficult to get the power supply and signals to the spinning oscilloscope but it was doable. Reading the display was solved by using the simplest solution available, we just used a 3D TV active glasses and synchronized to the spinning frequency of the oscilloscope so it let light through only when the oscilloscope’s display was in the right position.
This improved much the oscilloscope’s accuracy but still was not quite enough for our project. So new ideas were developed, e.g. spinning the oscilloscope on all 3 axes should improve the measurements by at least an order a magnitude, but now we don’t need all that, thanks to Tektronix.
Does anyone know when this will be available, I would need it soon.
