Product Description

The TPI 440 is a hand-held oscilloscope plus
autoranging DMM. The instruments large, backlit
LCD display shows a reading and waveform simul-
taneously. In addition to the standard functions of
ACV, DCV, ACA, DCA,

Ω

, Diode Test and Continuity

Buzzer; the 440 measures Frequency (Hz),
Capacitance, Logic and Component test functions.

The 440 also has RS232 output and software for
interfacing with a PC is offered as an optional
accessory.

The 440 comes complete with the following
accessories:

•

440 instrument

•

Rechargeable batteries

•

Set of standard test leads

•

Charger/adapter

•
