BitScopes are Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes.

This means they capture and display one, two or four analog signals and eight logic or timing signals, simultaneously.

Any model BitScope can also be used as a:

• Digital Storage Oscilloscope
• Logic State Analyzer
• Spectrum Analyzer
• Data Recorder

Most BitScopes include a Waveform Generator and all of them have a Smart POD expansion connector on the front for logic probes and external signal processing modules.

If you design, test or repair embedded systems, work with microcontrollers, robotics, sensors and servos, or modern automotive, avionic or other control systems you'll inevitably find you need to see analog and digital or logic signals simultaneously and time synchronized.

And this of course is precisely what all BitScopes are designed to do !

From the very beginning BitScope was conceived as a PC based mixed signal instrument.

BS325 | 10 Channel BitScope

The original award winning design was published in Circuit Cellar in 1998. This classic BitScope design is published here so you can learn how it works.

The first BitScope had two analog inputs multiplexed to a fixed 25 MS/s A/D convertor and 8 logic channels operating synchronously with the analog channel.

Released as kits and as manufactured products the original BitScope design became very popular with electronics enthusiasts the world over.

We have since discontinued the kits as the new designs use SMT and some through-hole parts have become obsolete but all BitScopes are still based on the same Analog+Digital idea conceived for the first BitScope.

BS442 | 12 Channel Network BitScope

BitScopes have 100 MHz analog bandwidth and support capture sample rates up to 40 MS/s.

Whether its the tiny BitScope Pocket Analyzer, one of the popular Dual or Quad Analog Channel Models or even the Networked Data Acqusition System, all BitScope systems capture eight logic or timing channels concurrently with the analog channels.

While still the first choice of electronics enthusiasts, BitScope MSOs have also become very popular with professional engineers in design and development, manufacture, testing and service fields.

They are used in applications ranging from primary fusion research to undergraduate university labs, embedded systems design and robotics, test and measurement, service and repair work.

BS100 | 9 Channel USB BitScope

In contrast to other PC digital scopes, BitScopes are unique in their open design and seamless integration of mixed signal functionality in one low cost unit.

BitScopes connect to a PC via standard Ethernet or USB for fast data upload and display refresh rates.

All models are supplied with the powerful BitScope DSO software application which includes mixed signal and storage oscilloscopes, a logic analyser, arbitrary waveform generator and spectrum analyzer all in one easy to use PC based software application.

DSO can also be used as a Data Recorder and when connected to our network models is capable of manage dozens of BitScopes simultaneously, a capability which in university labs or large data acquisition and process monitoring applications can be extremely useful.

20 x BS440E | 240 Channel Acquisition System

Indeed this multiscope capability forms the basis of BitScope's Networked Data Acquisition System.

Connected via a standard LAN, BS440E or any Network BitScope can be used to build large high speed acquisition systems such as the one pictured which comprises 240 concurrent analog and digital channels operating up to 40Ms/S on all channels.

So whether you need a low cost USB connected test instrument or a powerful networked data acquisition system, BitScopes offer very flexible solutions.
