Qa100 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope

These QA100 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope represents a new milestone in price & performance for 8- to 32-bit developers working in complex, mixed signal environments at sub 50 MHz speeds. The market today has focused on blindly offering faster and faster oscilloscopes, completely ignoring the challenges posed by mixed signal development. Worse, to achieve the faster speeds at economical prices, manufacturers have dropped to narrower ADC width and in some cases are overclocking ADC parts, further reducing the effective bit depth of the signal to just 6 or 7 bits. Oscilloscopes aren't defined by sampling rate alone. There are a host of variables to take into account. And the right scope for you depends on the types of systems you are working on.
In developing the QA100, we have stepped back and studied the needs of mixed-signal developers. Most working on complex embedded systems are not just hardware or just software engineers. They are engineering a supermena (and women) that straddle the boundary between software and hardware. They are fluent in C code, assembly, verilog and solder. They might be working on UI code one day, and fixing a problem found in the FPGA the next. Their clocks speeds arena t necessarily sky high, but the complexity is. Quickly diagnosing, documenting and sharing the solution is critical.
