Test Equipment / Re: UTG932 testing by multiple instruments with a lot of screenshots
« Last post by electr_peter on Today at 09:16:43 pm »Useful data on UTG932 in pdf. There is a main thread on UTG932/UTG962 with detailed info in case you missed it.
UTG932 can be easily persuaded to become UTG962. Also, BNC connector replacement is a good idea.
Most powerbanks with <2A should work except those with have very quick overcurrent detection. Solution is to add simple soft-start circuit to limit inrush current.

While UTG932E output frequency is limited by 30 MHz, it is possible to get a sinusoidal wave with significantly higher frequency using Arbitrary waveform defined to contain 10 sinus periods. When using such ARB waveform the actual output frequency is 10 times higher than the frequency shown on the UTG932E screen. Unfortunately, in this case frequency-dependent amplitude correction is not applied by UTG932E, so the amplitude shown by 1 second 10MHz to 80 MHz sweep is lower than it would be in non-Arb modeInteresting way to obtain higher frequency output.

At the turn-on moment the power supply current has short spikes exceeding 6A, then for about 8 ms the current is between 4A and 3.2ACurrent peaks are from inrush current to input caps of SMPS. It is not that bad, there much worse cases where switches fail in time (weld themselves) due to uncontrolled high inrush current.

Only after that current drops to normal 1A. Such high current glitches explain why it was not possible to power UTG932E by power bank with 2.4A rated output.
