The 4032 arrived today. It was taken apart within minutes
Here are the pictures of what lives inside. The PCB is very well anotated, almost as though Hantek are encouraging experimentation with it. Even the JTAG connection is clearly maked, complete with voltage pin !
On the down side, when I received the unit something just didn't look right. In the all the pictures that I had seen, the annotations on the I/O socket were upright when the unit is stood vertically on its feet....not on my unit, they were all upside down. To overcome this I took the unit apart and changed the orientation of the case so that the anotations are upright. The Hantek logo is now correctly orientated but on the opposite side to the pictures on the internet ! The power and USB ports are now nearesr the top of the unit rather than near the desktop. A small FAIL, but still a FAIL in my book. The label on the bottom also reads "
2M Memory Deepth". A minor spelling error but a silly one for a manufacturer to make as all labels should be proof read before release.
The port marked USB-X1 is, I believe, a port used to connect the unit to an oscilloscope and other Hantek test equipment to form a test kit 'stack'
The PCB is marked "2012-12-7 LA4032 V3.0" so it has been through at least two other versions and is a relatively recent PCB release. The PCB and the component placement is very good, so no complaints there. Just how could they have messed up the I/O port orientation so badly !
The PCB design seems a step up from the Hantek 5034 which, IMHO, looks to be a far cheaper unit in terms of quality of layout. The 4032 has nice track length compensation (the wiggly pcb tracks) and a well organised layout. Compare my pictures with those of the 5034 in this thread:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/anyone-tried-the-hantek-la5034-logic-analyzer/msg18290/#msg18290I wouldn't have thought that they were both from the same OEM manufacturer but I may be wrong about that.
The logic analyzer package includes the 4032L, A decent looking multi national SMPSU with US, Aus and European adapters (no UK adapter), nice quality short length probe leads, 18 IC pin grabbers of reasonable quality (I will be using the superior HP and TEK ones though), USB cable and a software CD.
All in all I am pleased with the design and build of the unit. I have an HP logic analyzer self paced training board that I will connect this unit in order to do some tests on its performance.
