Anatek Peak DCA55 semiconductor analyser

[cb92]

Finally got my meter from E-bay for about sixty bucks delivered. Much better than the one hundred fifty or so they wanted originally. Sure am glad I got a deal, 'cause it can't recognize a voltage regulator, thinks it's a couple of LEDs. Hell, that's why I got it, those little regs look just like transistors!
It did recognize a darlington, npn, and pnp transistors, and a mosfet.
The really cute part is you can hook up a component any which way, and it will tell you which leg is which, a real help for me.

Freaky! we must've been writing our posts at the same time.

Mine is an Atlas, same unit I think.

I have one of these. Great unit! Very handy both for testing, and identifying devices and pinouts.
$150? I thought they were about $65 new?

I still have the ad I printed from AnaTek Corporation, john@anatek.mv.com selling the ESR 60 for $179, the LC40 for $159 plus extra for the tweezers, clips, and carry case, and $159 for the DCA55, plus shipping. Too much.
It identified an LED for me, showed anode, cathode, specs. Very helpful.
