0048 - Improving the JDS6600 Part 1: The Power Supply

In this 2 part series we are going to try and improve this JDS6600-60 by eliminating some of the problems associated with the power supply and the time base. In Part 1 we replace the wall wart with a nice little Mornsun SMPS unit and some other useful modifications.

God bless Chinese and you for making electronics accessible for poor peasants like me.

Nice mods, nice work. I am enjoying your videos. It’s nice to watch a professional do what he does. Bonus for me, we share at least three bench instruments in common, so watching your videos is almost as good as being at my own workbench. Thanks. Subscribed.

Hi, I have JDS6600 Lite and it has no issues like I saw in your video, it seems you have a defective one.Anyway I will follow you in mounting a power supply inside. Mine is from Joy-It but is the same.

Great video and I like the method to modify a test device rather than only to recommend to buy a better one. What I do not understand is the leakage voltage issue. What exactly is the problem? I guess you will only have an issue if your attached circuitry (device under test) has connection to earth (protective) ground. By the way you have implemented the switch bypassing the capacitor to basically get the leakage voltage down to zero. Do you really need it or was it only a provision that is nice to have but you never used it?

Grettings. Is there a way to make this generator operate in high impendance mode?

So would you still recommend this function generator given it’s price and effort or would you recommend paying maybe double and getting an old fluke or Agilent function generator
