content: Wow, those are a very fancy (and pricey) looking version of the ol' octopus curve tracer!TR102. You learn something new every day.

content: Wow, didn't know TEK did the TR210 curve tracer. The Huntron Trackers were very useful bits of kit for PCB fault finding and they still fetch quite high prices on ebay.

content: Any news on that one? Is the TSH-210 a good solution?I am looking everywhere for an affordable and complete curve tracer and that seems to be a good deal?Regards

content: I bought one and I will test it next week when I come home.The 50 Hz button seems to get stuck, but hopefully that is just the chassis that needs some tweaking. The remote connector on the back is not connected...Some pictures are attached to this message.

content: Well... most of them.. but not all. Are you looking for something in particular?I tried making some pictures, tell me if you need something else or better quality.RMS Voltage was 38 to 40V AC... that is about 110 Vpp...

content: can you give us a link for the schematics ? I've searched and found the service manual, but no schematic.Edit: just found this tracker clone :https://hackaday.io/project/16704-microcontroller-based-curve-tracerbut still would like the tr210 original shematics ! thanks.

content: HiI have a TSH-210 VI Tester. I got it from aliexpress. It is a good product but scan function is very slow for me. About 1 second period between two seciton. I want to increase scan time on the pcb but i could not find the related IC for this function. Please could someone help me for this problem. Thanks for all...
