HIGH
-RESOLUTION
DIGITAL
STORAGE
OSCILLOSCOPE.
The
Philips
PM 3320A
digital- storage
oscilloscope,
with 200
-MHz band-
width, real -time
sampling
rate
of
250
MS
/s, and
10
-bit resolution,
is
ideally
suited to capture
single
events. Using random
repetitive
sampling, its
full 200 MHz
can
be
used for waveform
digitizing
and
storage.
The dual -channel
scope
also
offers an on -board
Fast
Fourier Transform
option that
gives
the user
an overview
of the
frequency
spectrum
of the incom-
ing
signal.
Two powerful
acquisition modes
are available
to capture
signal de-
tails exceeding preset
limits:
Save -
on- Difference
and
Stop- on -Dif-
ference.
Those features
compare
the incoming waveform
with
one
in memory,
and record
the new
waveform.
The
time of capture is
noted as
soon as a difference
ap-
pears between
the two
signals due
to jitter, spikes,
or amplitude varia-
tions. The Absolute
Min /Max func-
tion
creates an historical
record
of
a large number
of traces,
and can
be used
to set
the Save /Stop
-on
Difference
parameters.
Extensive
cursor -measurement
capabilities
indicate
the absolute
level
of the input
signal to
ground,
the
voltage
difference
between
two
channels at any given points
in
time (the PM
3320A automatically
accounts for
the attenuator
set-
tings),
and the
time difference
be-
tween any points
-even
between
two channels.

Other
automatic- measurement
functions
are RMS voltage,
per-
centage
overshoot
and preshoot
for
step functions,
and
continu-
ously variable
rise
and
fall
times
-
including
the two preset
options
of
10-90
percent
and 20-80 percent
for ECL
applications.
The PM
3320A
also provides
automatic
pulse
width,
duty
-cycle and phase
measurements,
division for ratio
measurements,
integration,
and
differentiation.
For
ease of operation,
the Auto
-
set function
automatically
selects
amplitude,
timebase, and
trigger-
ing for
instant
display of any input
signal
at the touch
of
a
button. As
many
as
250 front
-panel
setups can
be stored and instantly
recalled
-
individually
or in sequence
-
when needed.
Other features in-
clude menu
-driven
softkey opera-
tion for
direct access
to over 200
subsidiary functions,
an oversized
CRT for
enhanced
on- screen dis-
play,
and IEEE -488
or
RS
-232 com-
patibility for
systems use
and
for
hard
-copy
output to plotters and
printers.
The
Philips PM
3320A digital

oscilloscope has

starting at
$8,990.00.

REMOTE
ENGINE
STARTER.
Clifford
Electronics'
Smart Remote
Starter lets
the
owner
start his
car's
engine
and
accessories
from
as far
as 400 feet
away,
with
a miniature
remote
control. He
then has
up
to
ten minutes
to
get
to the
car,
which
will
have
a warmed
-up en-
gine,
defrosted
windows,
a com-
fortable
interior
temperature,
and
preset
selections
on the
stereo.
The
system
-whose
artificial
-in-
telligence
algorithm
uses parallel
processing
with
dual high -speed
microprocessors
-starts,
super-
vises,
and controls
the
starter,
en-
gine,
brakes,
transmission,
and
accessories.
As
soon as
the
remote
control's
digital -code
signal is re-
ceived (which
the system
acknowl-
edges
by flashing
the car's
parking
lights),
several safety
checks
are
automatically
performed.
Once all
safety
checks
pass,
the engine is
started,
and any preset
accessories
are activated.

If
the engine doesn't start,
or
starts
and then stalls, the Auto
-
Restart
feature will
automatically
try to
restart
the engine
three
times. While
the engine is idling,
the Smart Remote
Sensor protects
it from
excessive
RPM's
and over-
heating.
If anyone
other than the
driver tries
to open the hood
or
drive the vehicle,
the system
im-
mediately
shuts down
the engine.
It will
even prevent grinding
of the
starter
if
the driver
inadvertently
tries to start the
engine
when it's
already
running.
For
safety reasons,
the
system is
designed
to work
only on vehicles
with automatic
transmissions
and
electronic fuel
injection.
The
sys-
tem can recognize
if anyone
tries
to
use
it
on
another
type
of
vehi-
cle, and will
turn itself
off,
The
Smart Remote
Starter
can
easily
be programmed
to respond
to as many
as
three additional
Clifford remote
controls,
even if
each
one uses
a different
digital
code
or is
of a different
type.
The
suggested
retail
price for
the
Smart Remote
Sensor,
includ-
ing installation,
is
$550.00.
