Createc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:31, 1 December 2024

CREATEC Gesellschaft für Elektrotechnik GmbH was a German company founded by Manfred Koslar in Berlin in 1981.

Their only product line was a series of battery-powered, hand-held digital oscilloscopes. These scopes were re-branded by Gossen/Norma and Hitachi. Tektronix rebranded the entry modell as the T201, but also offered this modell with a different user interface as the T202.

Key Specifications

Bandwidth	6/9 MHz

Memory	between 9 and 46 waveforms, depending on the model
Sampling rate	10 or 20MS/s, depending on mode and model
Single-shot performance	2MHz
External interface	serial + parallel
Dimensions	257mm x 111mm x 48mm
Display resolution	128 x 128 pixel
Features	Signal processing (add, multiply, divide, multiply) Cursor measurements Zoom function Waveform parameter measurements partial automatic calibration Multimeter mode
Options	Real time clock parallel + serial interface built-in drivers for various printers improved "super twisted" LCD dual analog path with 2 A/D converters increased memory depth DOS software (Createc Wave) External battery pack + transport cases

Block diagram

Service documents aren't available. But Mr. Koslar luckily filed nearly 200 patents (including all country variants) during his life. Five of them are related to the SC series: These patents not only include a block-level based function description of the complete deivce - also the functionality of the proprientry ICs are described.
