You must test them, i said to myself,&#8230;yes you are a recycle fan but you have a lot of garbage in your drawer&#8230;<br \/>\nI spent a week to gather info &amp; specs, i have 2 frequency meters &amp; oscilloscopes in my lab, i didn&#8217;t want to make a complex device with displays, leds &amp; switches,so finally i made a Xtal &amp; Crystal Oscillator Tester as a plugin device (probe) for my frequency meter or for the oscilloscope.<br \/>\nNo more alligators, soldering, testing circuits on breadboards, that&#8217;s it!!!<br \/>\nYou can use it as RF Oscillator &#8211; Generator for your projects too.<br \/>\nYou can easily test XTALs &amp; VCXO Crystal Oscs using your lab instruments such as Frequency Meters,<br \/>\nOscilloscopes &amp; Spectrum Analyzers.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch a short presendation, just click on this youtube link <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/WkruzjNsZrs\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/WkruzjNsZrs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-364\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester01-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal-Oscillator-Tester01\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>An Assembled PCB Now It&#8217;s Available, For More Details Please Contact, akis at crisistech dot com.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-371\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester08-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal-Oscillator-Tester08\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nFrequency Meter Test<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-369\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester06-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal-Oscillator-Tester06\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nFull Spectrum Harmonic Analysis<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-368\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester05-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal-Oscillator-Tester05\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nCenter Frequency Test Analysis<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-367\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester04-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal-Oscillator-Tester04\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nVCXO Crystal Oscillator Under Test<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-366\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester03-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal-Oscillator-Tester03\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nXTAL Under Test<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-365\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester02-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal-Oscillator-Tester02\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSMD XTAL Test Point<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester09.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-372\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crisistech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Crystal-Oscillator-Tester09-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal-Oscillator-Tester09\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nOptional Outputs<br \/>\nBNC Female 2 Output Plugs Option A (DEFAULT)<br \/>\nSMA Female Jack Option B<br \/>\nSMA Female Jack Option C<br \/>\nSMA Male Jack Option D<br \/>\nSMA Male Jack Option E<\/p>\n<p>Specifications<\/p>\n<p>Xtal tester 1Mhz up to 50Mhz.<br \/>\nCrystal Oscillator Tester as far as it goes&#8230;(up to 250Mhz tested).<br \/>\nDual Output BNC (Default) for frequency meter or oscilloscope.<br \/>\nXtal Indicator Led for testing without external meters.<br \/>\nPower on switch &amp;
