Saw this whilst researching scope stuff - looks pretty good for the=20
price, and the documentation is not bad too, for learning/experimenting=20
with, or as a module for some larger project
Might be "okay" as a cheap and cheerful DSO, but not as a reliable=20
trustworthy tool - when I looked at it I asked about the clock that=20
comes with it and they said the standard is 133MHz, or you can add your=20
own (the ADCs work up to 200Msps, I have some here) but I'm not sure how=20
performance would be (I'm pretty sure it's a 4-layer board though)
I also asked about the front end but they refused to divulge any info,=20
which I though was a little bit ridiculous - I could understand it if it=20
was the latest Tek scope... :-)
All I wanted to know was whether it was discrete or op amp based - turns=20
out it's all discrete (I found a detailed pic - I have here still I=20
think, if you want it let me know..)
Certainly they have a few useful looking little boards there, could come=20
in handy for various projects, so in general I think they look worth it.=20
There is also a 4-channel version with the same ADCs.
