Hioki IM3570 LCR & Impedance Analyzer

<< < (20/26) > >>

KungFuJosh:
I was curious about how the resistance ranges functioned differently between the IM3570, and the 3532-50 so I popped it open and took a photo. The design of the IM3570 made it so I couldn't answer my question without a lot of effort, so I only took the one photo and closed it back up.

It's clearly a nice design. It looks like the top PCB doesn't need to be unmounted, and that there are separate screws for the top plate to be removed with the PCB still attached. But I didn't have the time or ambition to go further now.

The Xilinx Spartan chip says XC3SD1800A. Some of the others are easier to read, some are not. 😉

Thanks,
Josh

Another question that may worth real money is there significant hardware similarity with the lower end Hioki IM353x that allows an upgrade.

It's a possibility, but I slightly doubt Hioki is as lazy as Tonghui. 😉

We'd need some teardown photos of both models. I'll eventually take more/better photos of mine, but it will probably be a while before I get around to it.

KungFuJosh:
I submitted the following suggestions to improve the IM3570:


* PNG format instead of BMP for screen captures (PNG is ideal both for image quality, and to be able to share with peers).
* Custom colors for screen and/or screen captures, or at least an option to invert the screen colors on capture.
* Axis markers for analyzer to make reading and sharing info easier (why is test voltage on the same line as the frequency axis?? A lot of screen space is wasted in this regard).
* Screen capture of any screen, instead of just measurement screen (to share settings, etc. Currently need to take photographs of the meter).
* A simple way to get screen captures remotely, either via software app or a built-in web server on the IM3570 (basic functional control, and/or only remote viewing and screen capturing would be fine, though full control would be great if possible). (The LCR Meter Sample Application is not sufficient, but not terrible either.)
* Screensaver option with options for: Off, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes.

Hopefully, they'll do at least some of them, but the canned response doesn't give me a lot of hope lol. I guess we'll see.

This seems somehow familiar.... ;)
