FNIRSI DSO-TC3 3 in 1 Oscilloscope Signal Generator Component Analyzer Tester Cheap Electronics Lab

Hello, love your channel. Please, could you test the ESR meter part of the tester as there is an alarming number of colleagues of mine mentioning it produces false measures. I have ordered one which I haven't received yet and I really need an operational ESR meter

Great review! Thanks for testing outside the norm. I have a few different Peak electronics testers I purchased many years ago. I know there's other multicomponent testers on the market now but non of them look very polished . After stumbling across your review of the DSO-TC3, I think its time for me to upgrade my component testers to the DSO-TC3. I don't uses these testers very frequently but the DSO-TC3 looks like it'd save me a bunch of time when trying to distinguish component without having to switch between three or four tester as I current sometimes have.

fancy tamagotchi meter :D

Hello, Can it be used in automotive diagnostics? Does it support CAN, LIN and FlexRay protocols? And if not so what is the affordable one do you recommend for automotive repair?

Can i use the signal generator at the same time i using oscilloscope, i mean to generate siganl in circuit then check it with oscilloscope?

Can you actually get an audible sound from the signal generator that would allow for signal injection circuit debugging?

Hi, thx for the video, i wanna ask you, why if i measure 10 times the capacitor's Vloss, i get almost 10 different values? From 0.7% to 4% ... for the same capacitor....

I think maby this is made for people that use it for arduino and so on.
with all the sensors you can by for small projects with arduino it will be fine ;o)

The Chinese are complete idiots if they want 55 euros for this shit

its a very good device but..after fw update ( 0.3) has many problem with components low value, a capacitor 6,8mf read like mosfet..

How does it compare to atlas dca or dca pro that even cant test zenners only low voltage

Not saying this encouraged me to get one, just there is one on the way to my house in Adelaide now. And the price was amazingly good even in Australian dollars. Usually something around 60 euros would be over $100 in Australian dollarydoos, but instead it was more $AUD80, and still free shipping. (For the one with the oscilloscope probe). Looks really cool too.

Great product for what it is. I remember back in the early 70s, when I got my first analog multi-meter, and thought I reached a new apex.

Do the signal generator can be used at the same time as the oscilloscope? Thanks in advance!

いいね👍

Appreciate your helpful review. I just ordered one to use with my Model Railroad and Amateur Radio hobbies. My old Scope is 1950-60s vintage. I am especially looking forward to the portability of this one. Update my DSO-TC3 arrived today 😀Now watching this excellent Video again as I follow along with hands on experience 👀👀

Single channel scope is not very useful...

Nice little device for the price, though not sure how practical it would be IRL. Have you by any chance ever gotten your hands on a Digilent Analog Discovery 2? I think you could make a really good video (or series of videos) showing us some of your creative uses for it in electronics repair. It’s a truly capable bit of kit that isn’t seen in use much, which I don’t understand why.

I just got mine this morning! One short question: can you run the signal generator with a sine wave at the same time as you use the oscilloscope? When I try I only get a square wave.

Heya, very nice review love the tool

i'm glad I found this video, I just ordered this for almost $200 at a local online store (probably dropshipping). I was surprised to see the price difference!

For the LED tests on the Zener connections, you are testing the VOLTAGE, not the wattage. It is largely irrelevant what the "wattage" of the LED is, as the LED chips are connected in Series and Parallel, with the rated Voltage dependant on how many LEDs are in series, and the rated Current being dependant on how many chips are in Parallel.
So, a 10W LED could be made at various Voltages. This tester outputs up to 32V so it can test LEDs up to 33V (not up to 30V).

very good review Richard :) well presented :) and good use of components to test it with :)

Brilliant review thanks Richard. I've just ordered one on Ali.

This be a great Field Kit add on for when I have to go onsite work, these are great size to go into a tool box / or old fish tackle Box...

Hi, whats the deference between the Ts2 and TS3 ?

I would be interested in this product, but why Fnirsi does not want so ship to Austria ??

But can it make coffee 😂

Acabo de pedirlo se ve prometedor

Hi Rich, how good is the ESR reading on this device compared with dedicated ESR meters such as the MESR-100?

The 0.22ohm resistor showed an inductance …wire wound giving a true inductance as well as its resistance ??

Finally i and many others have a reason to buy this, finally we now can see (ESR) ohms of caps, because without
out that you can do nothing really with caps, because many times the uF is good, you also can see that with a
Multimeter, because if the (ESR) ohms is to high the cap is also not good, because you could not see that with
the FNIRSI DSO-TC2, or with a Multimeter.

I ordered one myself more then a week ago from Banggood, so that i have a Digital Oscilloscope and a ESR meter
in one, and more.

I’m just starting off and tinkering. I ordered this last week so I’m glad someone I trust got his hands on it and showed that it works well. I certainly would love for it to test power regulators. Been having a pain of a time on a bass amplifier board.

Many thanks for posting such an excellent in-depth review. Personally, I was impressed with the component analyser and rather liked that it also gave an ESR reading for capacitors which saves the cost od a dedicated ESR meter. I was not impressed with the need for adapters for the test probes and the lack of electrical protection which, to my mind, makes is a rather fragile instrument particularly out in the field. I like your ideas for possible upgrades to the device and it is easy to imagine a whole host of features that could be incorporated into such a device.

Thanks! Again if you are looking for something to do, I'd love an 'everything you need to know about oscilloscope' vid. Also the soldering tip test but the bc3 vs a knife tip. Thanks for all the good content.

My comment just disappeared for no reason.Why is that?I was only asking about another scope (1014d) and about a dynacord powermate 600 as I'm just repairing one.I don't get it 😑

Looking forward to watching this later, their soldering iron was really nice. I already have a cheap rechargeable component tester but this certainly looks interesting.

Hi to all. To the experts n master i have a mystery question. My pc reboots if i turn on/off room ligts or plug any thing to same extension as pc.
The culprit i am pretty sure is the PSU. Its too sensitive.
Its silver stone DA650w . Its rock solid under heavy loads all rails stay well withing specs. No random restarts either.
The wiring is fine / all pc components also good as with other psu this issue doesnt happen.

I cant trace the cause not an expert with PSUs
To me i think it can be the inrush thermistor or the big 450v cap bank. Or maybe as simple as improper ground or earthing that is causing it.

I have googled found guys with similar issues but none seem to fix it.

I know to do proper cap discrage before starting the psu operation so i had been in psu a few times but again not an expert

As you say in particular an impressive "daily driver" component tester for very little money

All that but no curve tracer, it's setup like a repair / diagnostics tool but it lacks probably the most useful function.

500khz was an accuracy cutoff and not a mechanical range cutoff

My little ̶P̶o̶n̶y̶ electronics lab, seems very good value I wonder what the noise specs on the Sig Gen are and the Comp tester seems the best bit for me........cheers.

Some remotes aren't IR. Radio signal remotes are easy to tell because they don't need to be pointed at the receiver. Only 3 component are needed to build a remote tester. Any IR LED receiver, any color LED, 1 resistor and a 4V supply. Digital cameras can also be used to test IR remotes.

Does it work when you want to check check bios chips in osciloscope mode?Or is it super slow for it?Also,can it measure high voltages pwm like a power mosfet?

Can you give a good better best for a scope if you have a budget up to £400 . That little one seemed to have a good number of features all in one box, very useful. Nice and clear review , thanks.

I have the DSO-TC2, and I love it so far. I dont really know all of the ways to use it, but the scope and tester seem to work good

nice little tool for that price ... I seen worse than that at double the price range

If someone is just starting out that looks like a good bit of kit to me. It's a lot more than I had.
