PoScope Mega1 Bundle

PoScope Mega1 is the worlds first low-cost PC-based 12 bit mixed signal oscilloscope which provides the features of many benchtop instruments in one USB-powered compact box: 2-channel scope, 2-channel spectrum-analyzer, 2-channel chart-recorder, 8 or 16 channel logic-analyzer and an 8-
channel pattern generator.

An additional 5 analog channels will be supported via software upgrade, so a total 7 analog channels will be available.

The oscilloscope capability provides a 2-channel 12-bit -20V to +20V 100Hz to 1MHz mixed signal oscilloscope, with marker measurements, triggering (absolute, differential, pre-trigger, external), math functions and signal voltage and frequency measurement, filtering, etc. With 12k bytes sample data buffer in buffer mode and virtually unlimited buffer in pipe mode you can view large amounts of information.

The 2-channel spectrum analyzer feature offers marker measurements, distortion measurement, and various filtering options.

The chart recorder can record and display signals from 0.01Hz to 1MHz for virtually unlimited recording time with marker measurements, the ability to add comments, max/minimum/ average voltage measurement for each channel, etc.

The logic analyzer offers a useful 16-channel, 1kHz to 10MHz recording, with 8-channels still available if the internal 8-channel pattern generator is on. Marker measurements are provided, as well as several triggering options (edge, level, mask, pre-trigger, external clocking, preset missing pulse, preset bit sequence/edge, etc.)

Remarkably, for an instrument of this cost, it includes convenient visual decoding of UART, SPI, I2C and 1-Wire interfaces.

The pattern generator is an 8-channel, 1kHz to 1MHz device with tabular waveform formatting or useful mouse chart plotting on screen.  Additionally, the USB interface allows you to record, output, import, export and print all waveforms or even update the firmware as new features become available.

PoScope software version 4 sets new standards on oscilloscope software. With its multi window capability it supports multiple PoScope devices at the same time. For the first time,  mixed signal capability is available in a low cost oscilloscope.

In Q2 2010 a free software development kit will be published which will allow users to write custom visualization plug-ins.

Included in the bundle:

• Mega1  2-ch Scope
• (2) 1x/10x BNC Probes
• 18-Lead Logic Probe Set (note: Logic Analyzer s/w function is not yet available)
• 1.8m USB A/B cable
