Re: Inexpensive USB Oscilloscope / Logic Analyzer (under $200)
that is pretty cool. I have seen USB pod scopes and logic analyzers on ebay for $400 to $500 (new), that have better specs.
the scope bandwidth on this one is a little low (200kHz sampling rate). You can get used digital scopes on ebay for $200 with a 100MHz bandwidth.
I have been keeping an eye on these USB pod instruments. They are very nice if you have a laptop to run them from, for testing stuff in the field. It will be interesting to see if they make a dent on lab bench scopes, like Tektronix or Agilent equipment. When you are testing and debugging in the lab it is nice to have a separate display and knobs to twiddle on each piece of test equipment, instead of trying to keep multiple windows visable, and pushing slider knobs with a mouse.
For a FIRST team this is definately a great find!
