Housed in USB-powered box, PC-based PoScope combines 2-channel, 100 Hz to 200 kHz oscilloscope; 2-channel spectrum analyzer; 2-channel chart recorder that displays signals from 0.01 Hz to 200 kHz; 8- or 16-channel logic analyzer with 1 kHz to 8 MHz recording; 5-channel square wave and PWM generator; and 8-channel, 1 kHz to 1 MHz pattern generator. With USB interface, users can record, output, and print all waveforms or update firmware as new features become available.

Pittsford, NY: PoScope is a low-cost PC- based instrument which provides the features of six 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, 5-channel square-wave and PWM generator, and an 8- channel pattern generator - all for less than $170! You could say it has a seventh instrument inside too: PoScope decodes and displays UART, SPI, I2C and 1-Wire signals!
The Oscilloscope capability provides a 2- channel 10-bit -20V-to-+20V 100Hz to 200kHz basic scope, but with marker measurements, triggering (absolute, differential, pre-trigger, external) and adding signal voltage and frequency measurement, filtering, etc.) With 64k sample/channel data buffer you can view plenty 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 200kHz for up to 24 hours 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 8MHz 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 in an instrument at this low cost, it includes free handy visual decoding of UART, SPI, I2C and 1-Wire interfaces.
The Signal Generator is a 5-channel square and PWM generator which operates independently of the other modes. You can enable the generator, connect its signal to your circuit and perform measurements with the oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer. The PWM Generator has a fixed frequency of 7,8125 kHz with a variable 1-100% duty-cycle. The Squarewave Generator has a 50% fixed duty cycle with frequency variable in 8 steps from 3.91 kHz to 1MHz.
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 and print all waveforms or even update the firmware as new features become available.
PoScope is available now from stock from Saelig Co. Inc. Pittsford NY at $199.95 including 2 scope probes and a logic ribbon probeset. 1-888- 7SAELIG info@saelig.com www.saelig.com
