Since mickpah has already posted internal pictures of his DP832, and that it is essentially the same as the ‘A’ version, then I won’t duplicate the effort and post the same pictures.
However, I will post some other pictures of a DP832A that may be interesting.
The following three pictures are of the three standard screens.
The first displays all three channels, the second is the dial display and the third is the waveform display. The animation on the dial screen is good but I find it too laggy to be useful as an instrument.
The following is a picture of the top board flipped over, exposing the internals. It gives an idea of the orientation of the boards. The back of the unit is towards the front of the picture.
The toroid is labelled slightly differently in my one… 400VA?
Looks like those “Motherless Goats” also laser etched the chip IDs off many ICs in my one as well.
The following screen shows the default options on an 832A. What are the default options on an 832?
The following are the functions available on the Advanced screen. Are these functions available on an 832?
I worked out how to display the full details in the system info screen. It also enables an extra option to clean (clear and factory reset) the memory.
To display the full details press the following soft buttons in sequence, when in the system info screen.
1 – 3 – 4 – 2 where the soft buttons (buttons under the LCD) are numbered from left to right.
Looking at the top board picture that mickpah posted, it appears as though the DP832 has the LAN, RS232 and digital I/O connectors populated. The back of those connectors can just be seen in his picture. If they are installed on an 832, then (cosmetic differences aside) the hardware would most likely be identical between the 832 and the 832A. Looks like another exercise in ‘sniffing’ is warranted…
