I've used Acute's USB PKLA1616 for a few months and found
it an extremely helpful tool. Both for confirming that h/w and s/w
behave as they should....and tracking down problems when
they don't ;-)

An example of the output

I've not yet looked into some of the more advanced features,
such as importing Command Sets from Excel. The basic
triggering and capture functions/parameters are completely
adequate for day-to-day use. The Help is rather thin (likely
because it's Taiwanese in origin, possibly would be better
in Chinese rather than Engrish), which is one reason I've not
tried some advanced features. Instead of step-by-step
explanations, it uses specific terms in a very general sense,
meaning you have to root out for yourself what things do. But
it's not that big of a deal once you get into it

It's possible to have two LA Viewer programs open, which
kind of expands it from a 16-ch to 32-ch, although there's only
one 16-ch "pod" (ie physical sampler). It can sample from 100Hz
to 200MHz. The 1616 can take 1048576 samples (h100000)
corresponding to 5.243ms at 200MHz and almost 3 hours at
100Hz

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Some specs from the Help - note that the 1616 not included. It's
an external USB device and is not fitted as a PCI card. These
specs also tend to emphasise maximums. Some models aren't
as powerful
