Grabbed that Powersope manual for my mate last night, it's a later one from McVan and for
881A....is that what you guys have ?
One another matter......what are those insulated BNC style push in connectors on the Powerscope probe leads called ?
Are they some industry standard or proprietary to BWD ?
Bodges that can be used instead ?
Sources ?
The one I have here is an '881 Powerscope 11',
the 881A Powerscope 11 may be a later model,
afaict they appear identical in form and function in photos
That said, the 881A has a much less brown coloured vibe on the front panel, perhaps the 'A' may indicate 'Aesthetic' model ?
RJFreeman beat me to it, a male BNC plug without the locking bayonet outside ring
If you want to use your own leads, probes and custom thingies/DIYs etc to fill up the scope for some multi-channel differential fun,
you would need to have a dozen BNC male to female adapters (about $3 each), dremel off the locking bayonet outside ring,
and you're in business without having to hack up your current arsenal
FWIW I bypassed the dremel and hacksaw business, squashed the locking bayonet 'slightly' in a small vice,
rotated a few times and repeated,
the ring eventually fatigues and breaks off/shatters cleanly with no damage or marks to the part required
Patience, good hearing listening for the break sounds, and 'vice intuition' are required to get it right, otherwise you may trash the adapter.
Please note the outer ring on the bodge adapters will still be making contact with earth/ground on the scope even though the locking bayonet outside ring has been removed.
The BWD P90 (1x) probe leads are truly/physically isolated with no connection to the plug barrel at all, and have a 100ma fast blow 3AG glass fuse (30 to 37 ohms) in case of a differential probing snafu
Since we're in
Bodge Territory...
if you cut or file off the two small rear metal posts on RJFreemans adapter example above, you can use the same adapters to plug BWD probes into other other gear,
