Bk Precision Oscilloscope 2160 Service Manual Software
Alternate or chop sweepselectable at all sweep rates.Sum and Difference CapabilityPermits algebraic addition or subtraction of channel 1 andchannel 2 waveforms, displayed as a single trace. Useful fordifferential voltage and distortion measurements.CRT FEATURESRectangular CRTRectangular CRT with large 8 x 10 centimeter viewing area.ConvenienceTrace rotation electrically adjustable from front panel. 0%,10%, 90%, and 100% markers for rise time measurements.VERTICAL FEATURESHigh Sensitivity5 mV/div sensitivity for full bandwidth. 1 mV/divsensitivity with PULL X5 at reduced bandwidth.Calibrated Voltage MeasurementsAccurate voltage measurements (3%) on 10 calibrated rangesfrom 5 mV/div to 5 V/ div. Vertical gain fully adjustablebetween calibrated ranges.SWEEP FEATURESCalibrated Time MeasurementsAccurate (±3%) time measurements.
Model has 19calibrated ranges from 0.5 s/div to 0.5 is/div. Sweep timeis fully adjustable between calibrated ranges.X10 Sweep MagnificationAllows closer examination of waveforms, increases maximumsweep rate to 50 ns/div.TRIGGERING FEATURESTwo Trigger ModesSelectable normal (triggered) or automatic sweep modes.Triggered SweepSweep remains at rest unless adequate trigger signal isapplied.
Fully adjustable trigger level and (+) or (-) slope.AUTO SweepSelectable AUTO sweep provides sweep without trigger input,automatically reverts to triggered sweep operation whenadequate trigger is applied.Five Trigger SourcesFive trigger source selections, including CH 1, CH 2, ALT,EXT, and LINE.

Elenco s-1360 (640x260).jpg 166.02 KiB Viewed 2145 times I suppose they are similar, but anyone can clearly see this is not the same scope.I saw more than a few images on the web of a BK 2160a which looks just like mine, but I just figured they had misidentified their 2160 as a 2160a.This is a nice scope and I'm just surprised that no one, including me, can come up with any type of user or service manual for it. Even Pete doesn't have it and that is kind of rare.DougYouTube channel. Info on any known problems with these would also be very helpful.I don't know of any known problems to that model. On several similar scopes I've had (Phillips, Leader, B&K), they came working just fine. However they would often have sloppy or rough turning controls and/or switches. That would exhibit as 'spikes' and noise in the signal display when changing them ( especially the vertical controls). Solution: I usually assume the controls haven't been used in a long time and have oxidized.
So I have a 'DeOxit' party and that brings the unit back to good, even excellent, all around performance. Info on any known problems with these would also be very helpful.I don't know of any known problems to that model.

I suppose they are similar, but anyone can clearly see this is not the same scope. The controls may be laid out a little different on the panel but that's no biggie. The operating instructions for the manual suggested should pretty much transfer. This looks like it's a 50-60Mhz scope.
Should provide a lot of capability for whatever you might want to do. I would suggest getting a good probe and always be mindful of the input voltage max (should be listed right near the inputs).Cheers,Grid2Yes I did notice some dirty controls so I will probably give those a good cleaning. I did get a comment for a link to a user manual on my YT video, so i have that at least. I also filled out a form on the BK support website so maybe that will produce something. Only time will tell now.ThanksDougYouTube channel.
