If you are looking small flexible and cheap scope for your projects, this might be great choice. Scope is built around Atmel ATXmega32A4 microcontroller. Miniature scope is equipped with 0.96” OLED display where signals are viewed.
The Xprotolab is the first mixed signal oscilloscope with an arbitrary waveform generator in a DIP module. It measures only 1 x 1.6 inches, and can be mounted directly on a breadboard.
The Xprotolab is a fully featured Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) with Spectrum Analyzer and Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG). The Xprotolab can also be used a development board for the XMEGA AVR microcontroller.
The Xprotolab can be powered thru the micro USB port. Alternatively, the Xprotolab can be powered by connecting a 5V power supply on the 5V pin. Do not connect a 5V power supply and the USB at the same time.
Features:
- Horizontal Cursors
- Vertical Cursors
- Automatic Average and Peak to Peak measurements
- FFT and automatic search of fundamental frequency
- Analog trigger and external digital trigger
- One time division consists of 16 pixels. Example: 5uS / division = 5uS / 16 pixels ==> 312.5nS / pixel
- One gain division consists of 16 pixels
