Streamline your bench diagnostics by combining an oscilloscope, component tester, and signal generator into one handheld unit. The FNIRSI DSO-TC3 features a 10MSa/s sample rate and automated transistor identification for rapid troubleshooting of electronics projects.

> ⚠ For extra-low-voltage circuits only (under 50 V AC or 120 V DC). Not for mains-voltage measurements.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $90.25 (inc GST) — $82.05 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 2 today, and up to 300 more in 8–25 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10448:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10448:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

A high-integration, handheld laboratory instrument that combines a digital storage oscilloscope, a sophisticated electronic component tester, and a versatile function signal generator into a single, pocket-sized device. Designed for the modern maker bench, it serves as a first-call diagnostic tool for identifying components and visualising signals without the need for a desk full of expensive, bulky hardware.

Electronics enthusiasts often struggle with the "unknown component" dilemma - unmarked transistors or mystery diodes that make troubleshooting a headache. The DSO-TC3 solves this by providing instant, automated pinout detection and characteristic analysis; meanwhile, its integrated oscilloscope and signal generator allow you to inject a waveform and trace it through your circuit in one seamless workflow, saving valuable bench space and reducing setup time.

Built with a rugged housing and a bright 2.4-inch colour TFT display, this unit is engineered for both portability and precision.

### Features

- **Master your circuit diagnostics** with a 3-in-1 design that replaces a standalone oscilloscope, component tester, and signal generator, streamlining your workspace.
- **Identify mystery components instantly** using the automated transistor tester mode, which detects NPN/PNP, MOSFETs, diodes, and even ESR in capacitors with zero manual configuration.
- **Visualise high-speed signals** with a 500kHz bandwidth and 10MSa/s sampling rate, providing enough resolution for debugging Arduino, ESP32, and most hobbyist microcontroller projects.
- **Verify complex logic and timing** using the built-in signal generator, allowing you to output sine, square, and pulse waves up to 100kHz to simulate sensors or clock signals.
- **Expand your testing toolkit** with specialised "Toolbox" functions, including infrared NEC protocol decoding, DS18B20 temperature sensing, and DHT11 humidity measurement.
- **Safely test high-voltage components** like Zener diodes (up to 32V) via a dedicated test area, ensuring you can verify regulation circuits.
- **Enjoy long-term field use** thanks to the USB-C rechargeable 1500mAh battery and a compact, lightweight chassis that fits easily into a toolkit.
