The new 

HAMEG

 

HM303

 oscilloscope succeeds the HM203 (over 170,000

sold worldwide). The bandwidth has been extended from 20 to 

30MHz

, the sweep

rate increased to 

10ns/div.

 and improvements added to the already legendary

HAMEG 

auto triggering system. The 

HM303 

is the ideal instrument for waveform

display in the 

DC

 to 

70MHz

 frequency range.

A key feature of this oscilloscope is the vertical amplifier's pulse fidelity, limiting

overshoot to only 1%. The 

HM303

 offers a special fast rise time, 

1kHz/1MHz

Calibrator 

permitting high quality probe compensation across the entire frequency

range to ensure probe-tip thru to display integrity. An 

Overscan Indicator

 assists

in vertical display amplitude and position adjustment.

The 

HM303

 is capable of triggering on input waveforms over 

100MHz 

and on

signal levels as small as 0.5 division. 

Alternate triggering

 mode enables the

display of two asynchronous signals simultaneously. An active 

Video Sync-

Separator 

permits detailed examination of complex TV signal inputs. A well

proven, built-in 

component tester

 is now equipped with a stabilized measuring

voltage. The use of a switching type of power supply minimizes both weight and
power consumption and universally accepts a wide range of input power line
voltages, without the requirement to change jumpers or switch positions. The

HM303's

 CRT is fully 

mu-metal shielded

 against outside magnetic fields.

HAMEG

 is setting new 

price/performance 

breakthroughs with the introduction

of this fine oscilloscope. This performance packed scope will tempt all users to run
it through its paces.
