Turn your PC into an MSO
-- Test & Measurement World, 11/1/2008 2:00:00 AM
The MSO-9212 mixed-signal oscilloscope connects to a PC through its USB port and provides two analog and 12 logic channels. The instrument samples at 1 Gsample/s when running one analog channel and at 500 Msamples/s when using both. It maintains the 500-Msamples/s rate when using both analog channels and all 12 logic channels, with 200 Msamples of acquisition memory available for each channel with all 14 channels operating. The logic channels are disabled when the instrument runs a single analog channel at 1 Gsample/s. The instrument has an analog bandwidth of 200 MHz.
Using the PC software, you can set the MSO-9212 to trigger on analog channels, digital channels, or a combination of both. Triggers include level, edge, glitch, pulse width, and count. Digital triggers include logic levels and edges as well as triggers for the SPI (serial peripheral interface) I2C serial buses. The MSO-9212 will also decode data on these serial buses.
The software also lets you run FFTs (fast Fourier transforms) on analog signals, converting them to the frequency domain. Then, you can save the frequency-domain data for further analysis. The instrument can make up to 40 kinds of waveform measurements including frequency, peak-to-peak, duty cycle, rise time, and fall time. A channel-history feature lets you display the 30 most recent signal acquisitions. Color codes indicate relative time of acquisitions.
Price: $1799 (includes two 300-MHz passive probes, a USB cable, and an AC adapter). Link Instruments, www.linkinstruments.com.
