sampling of two analog and eight digital signals; as an
arbitrary waveform generator, it provides advanced sweep
options on all waveforms. As a protocol sniffer, it can
decode SPI, I2C, and UART.
The Xprotolab Portable has an
advanced triggering system: normal,
single, auto, and free trigger modes;
an adjustable trigger level; and the
ability to view signals prior to the
trigger. As a portable digital meter,
Xprotolab Portable can show
VDC, VPP, and Input Frequency
to 12 MHz.
Lissajous figures, displaying V/I
curves, or the phase difference
between two waveforms is possible
in XY mode. A built-in FFT spectrum
analyzer offers different windowing
options and selectable vertical log
and IQ visualization. Channel math
allows adding, multiplying, inverting,
and averaging input signals.
Automatic waveform
measurements and waveform
references are offered too, with
horizontal and vertical cursors. The
waveform generator and the
oscilloscope can run simultaneously,
since the waveform generator runs in
the background.
Based on an Atmel
ATXMEGA32A4U microprocessor,
the Xprotolab Portable can connect
to a PC’s USB port for charging the
built-in 600 mAh battery, or for
external control or screen dumps.
The built-in graphic 1.3” OLED shows
waveforms on its 128x64 pixel
display. The Xprotolab Portable
weighs less than 60 g and is a
compact 3. 13” x 1.83” 0.7”.
An auto setup feature sets the
optimum gain and time base for
signals on CH1 and CH2. Edge,
window, and slope triggering is
available, as well as trigger hold
which enables a wait-time before
detecting the next trigger.
The Xprotolab Portable
continuously samples to a circular
buffer, giving the ability to show
samples before or after the trigger.
Any analog channel, digital channel,
or external signal can be used as the
trigger source.
The Xprotolab Portable is
available for US$98.
