Description
BKPrecision 2120C is a dual trace oscilloscope that offers high performance at a low price. Most competitor’s entry level oscilloscopes have a 20 MHz bandwidth, while this model is 30MHz.
The BK2120C is built by and backed by B&K Precision, a company that has been selling reliable, durable, value priced test instruments for over 60 years.
Features of the BKPrecision 2120C
- Dual or single trace operation
- 5 mV/div sensitivity
- AUTO/NORM triggered sweep operation with AC, TVH, TVV and line coupling
- Compact low profile design
- cUL certified
