USB multifunction instruments - 2008-10-13 15:20:00

Hello to all,

I'm looking for an USB device with these features:

- powered from USB
- oscilloscope: dual trace, 100 MHz BW, usual trigger options (edge,
impulse, video, ext). Some raw analysis: frequency, mean, rise time,
time measurement, FFT, ecc
- logic analyzer: 8 ch, 60 MHz, common protocol decoder (RS232, SPI,
I2C, CAN, USB) data logger and various trigger options
- waveform generator: 20 MHz, sin, square, sweep and AM/FM modulation.
PWM and arbitrary if possible.

My budget is about 1000 euro.

What would you suggest?

Thanks
Marco / iw2nzm

Doesn't quite meet your requirements (signal gen is only 10MHz and just 
sine/square/triangle, and won't decode all your standards), but close:

Some of the "deal killers" on your list include:

-- The "decode USB" function there is not particularly common with inexpensive 
equipment, since it's a lot more complex than RS-232, SPI, I2C, or CAN.  There 
are, however, dedicated USB logic analyzers for quite good prices (<$1k).
-- Sweep and AM/FM is not particularly common on inexpensive signal 
generators... although at 20MHz there's a good chance you might be able to 
find a decent standalone box to do this inexpensively.

Interesting!

Thank you for that!
