| Step 5 - Connectors, Voltage Regulators |
Now come the connectors - power (left bottom), PC link (left top), and probe (right), as well as the two
voltage regulators. Not all of the connectors shown are mandatory:
If you plan to put the board in an enclosure, you can safely omit the black power connector (keeping only
the blue power terminal), the phono socket, and the board-mount BNC connectors (not installed in the
picture above). Installing the through-hole BNC connectors will prevent you from fitting the board into
the intended enclosure, and those connectors are very hard to remove once soldered on.
On the other hand, to keep the scope as a bare unit, you may not need the blue power connector (if you are
using a power supply with coaxial plug), and can also omit the three-pin serial header (J_SERIAL).
