Analog Discovery Pro 2450 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
High-Speed, High-Bandwidth Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
The Analog Discovery Pro 2440 and Analog Discovery Pro 2450 deliver serious measurements for the engineer who knows what matters. Choose between four analog channels of either 100 MHz bandwidth at 12-bit resolution (ADP2440) or 200 MHz bandwidth at 8-bit resolution (ADP2450) with both featuring a 16 channel Logic Analyzer and Pattern Generator, an arbitrary waveform generator, and seamless integration with the WaveForms software.
These USB 3.2 oscilloscopes provide the right level of performance where you need it. Circuit design, embedded systems, or your own unique test workflow; you can do it all without distracting from your task at hand. When you need a real tool to solve real problems, use the Analog Discovery Pro.
