In electronics and electrical engineering, the multimeter and the oscilloscope are very important devices. The oscilloscope in particular is used to make electronic processes visible. For example, the sine curve of a voltage curve is made visible on the screen. Individual signals and their length can also be displayed in this way. The oscilloscope is used for checking or error detection.
Oscilloscope kits are a good opportunity to buy an oscilloscope. The individual parts of an oscilloscope like display, processing electronics, PCB boards, etc. are included in such packages. Depending on the model, such a kit can have different characteristics like number of input channels, analog bandwidth, voltage range, number of memory points, etc. Depending on your needs you can choose a suitable kit and with a little patience and tinkering you can create a cheap oscilloscope.
These kits often come with compact displays and corresponding software, so that you can get started immediately after assembly. The firmware is usually pre-programmed, so that on hardware level all things should run immediately. The kits can often be operated with a 9V block and are therefore ground free. This makes them mobile and versatile.
We have put together some popular kits for you here. We have analysed the most important characteristics of the kits and have highlighted them for you.
