Used HEATHKIT IN-17 #9363639 for sale

HEATHKIT IN-17 is an instrument built in the 1980s which provides an efficient solution for testing analog circuits with a single digital readout. This test equipment is extremely versatile and can be used for a variety of applications including oscilloscope and spectrum analyser. The oscilloscope part of the instrument is designed to study the signal from any analog circuit. It has a wide frequency range from 50 Hz to 500 kHz and offers a variety of user-selectable time and voltage settings to generate accurate waveforms with different characteristics. The time range settings are vary from 0.2 ms to 10 ms, while the vertical sensitivity has a range from 25 mV to 1,000 V. IN-17 also features several inputs for external probes for more precise measurements. The spectrum analyser is designed to measure the power spectrum of a signal, allowing the user to identify and isolate signals from a wide array of frequencies and modulation schemes. Thanks to its high frequency range from 150 kHz to 500 MHz and its 50 ohm input impedance, along with the selectable frequency reference of 45 or 90 MHz, the instrument can generate detailed frequency spectra that are essential for troubleshooting and which can be used in the design of analog circuitry. HEATHKIT IN-17 is powered by a compact 9V battery, making it easily transportable and ideal for use in field settings. The two displays simultaneously show both the digital readouts of the oscilloscope and spectrum analyser functions, clearly displaying the measurements taking place. The device also features a simple front panel menu system for navigational control and adjustment of the necessary settings, such as sensitivity and time scale settings. Overall, IN-17 is a powerful and extremely versatile electronic test equipment with a wide range of features. With its oscilloscope and spectrum analyser functions, it is well suited for both lab work and field use, providing accurate measurements of both signal amplitude and frequency content. Thanks to its simple front panel menu system, user-friendly design, and lightweight battery operation, the instrument is reliable, easy to use, and essential for accurate testing and troubleshooting of analog circuit designs.
