TOOLS: Atten ADS1062CA oscilloscope
Our favorite tools have a new home on the wiki. Each week we’ll muse about one of them. Have your own tool review? We’ll post that too! The Atten ADS1062CA is a dual channel digital storage oscilloscope capable of 1Gsamples a second, and an analog bandwidth of 60Mhz. An oscilloscope is a useful piece of […]
Oscilloscope simulator
There is an interesting oscilloscope simulator , not much is known about the authors, other than the brief description of the reasons they chose to simulate this particular scope. Give it a try and tell us what you think.
Repair your own oscilloscope
Hotsolder repaired his malfunctioning Rigol, A bad rotary encoder can make your tools useless in worst cases. Fortunately it is an easy fix, he has created a slide show demonstrating just how easy it is. Via Hack a Day
MSP430 Launchpad oscilloscope
NJC’s MSP430 Launchpad blog presents the LaunchScope . Using no additional hardware beyond the Launchpad, this project includes code for both the MSP430 as well as PC client display software written in C#.
TV oscilloscope
Clearing out old posts before the new year, some of these might seem ancient. Watch TV on a CRT oscilloscope. Via Hacked Gadgets.
Bus Pirate: PirateScope
Tim has written another oscilloscope script for the Bus Pirate. The script (distribute under GPL) is attached, as are a couple of screenshots. The first displays the triggering function with the trigger voltage level (horizontal dashed line) and the trigger point (vertical dashed line) shown on the graph. The second shows the spectral analysis function […]

RIGOL 100MHz hack verified for firmware 2.04
There’s been a lot of interest in hacking the 50MHz Rigol DS1052E oscilloscope to work at 100MHz. The hack takes two parts. First remove a low pass filter, and then (see comments, thanks for the correction) Just modify the firmware to get it working at higher speeds. Forum member IPenguin just confirmed that this hack […]
Open source digital sampling oscilloscope
Please join us in the forum to discuss a digital sampling oscilloscope add-on for the open source logic analyzer (currently referred to as project SUMP PUMP). Our general goal is to design an inexpensive expansion board that samples analog voltages at 50MHz+. The combination of a logic analyzer and sampling oscilloscope is a powerful debugging […]
