That's nice, but I think for that price I'll still to making my own power supplies, even though I'll probably never be able to make a nice switch-mode one, way to many complicated "math-u-lations" and formulas.
I'm going to buy a rigol ads1102 and I'd like to test my little lab power supply for ripple and so on. Could you tell me the connecting procedure and scope setting to do this? Really really thanks in advance.
oh my god that oscilloscope looks amazing , and WHAT !!! it's only 415$cad free shipping OMG !!!! this is so much better than my 40 years old HP oscilloscope
@chukchee Hmm, after thinking about this for a second he may have seen CA in print and assumed it was for Canada and not California, but you are right, they are in Yorba Linda California
A $330(US) switchmode bench supply gets a pass for using single-sided phenolic PCB? At that price, I'd expect at least FR4. Traces develop microfractures much more easily on phenolic than FR4.
Some of the soldering and lead trimming looked horrible. The vertical boards looked poorly supported. How was the solder work on the bottom of the main board?
On the plus side, the features were good to hear about, and thanks for the detailed spec checkout.
that front panel reminds of a realistic pro 2042 scanner i used to own

Are you sure they're Canadian? Aren't they in California?

Phenolic is fairly typical in supplies like this, so I wasn't going to mark it down for that.
The soldering was fine.
Yes, not the world's best construction board support etc, but adequate for a low end bench supply.
It's actually quite low priced for a PC controlled PSU.

Agree completely, it works well as a PC controlled supply but I would personally not use it as a general purpose bench supply.
I think the next cheapest programmable PSU I found was half the power, and twice the cost. Granted it looked fancier and had better accuracy.
