USBscope50
1Gsps/75Mhz USB pen-style DSO (Digital Storage Oscilloscope)

USBscope50 : tiny modular digital storage oscilloscope

USBscope50 is a tiny PC based oscilloscope which connects via the USB port, combining the ease of use, portability and economy of PC based scopes with high performance normally associated with much larger bench oscilloscopes.

USBscope50 is small enough to be carried in a shirt pocket or laptop bag but uses standard BNC oscilloscope probes.

'Stackability'

2 USBscope50 units stacked together to give a dual channel solution

Most USB Digital Storage Oscilloscopes implement 2 channels but the USBscope50s modular design allows the user to choose to configure a single channel or up to 4 channels. Elan’s proprietary synchronisation system ensures tight Oscilloscope channel to channel matching and concurrent triggering - and you can even stack the USBscope with the other USB measurement products.

Software

Elan offers drivers and application software for all of the test and measurement products, but also makes the source code available freely under the GNU licence.
