Red Pitaya SIGNALlab 250-12 is a high-performance signal capture and analysis instrument. The SIGNALlab 250-12 can be used as an oscilloscope, spectrum analyser, and logic analyser, with more applications to be released in the future. The SIGNALlab 250-12 provides real-time processing capabilities and fast analog front and back-end performance. Small and portable, it also offers the benefits of remote access over Ethernet or Wi-Fi®, using Matlab, Labview, Scilab, or Python via the Red Pitaya SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation) list of commands.
The SIGNALlab 250-12 is based on a powerful Xilinx Zynq® 7020 Dual-Core Arm® Cortex®-A9 CPU and FPGA, with 1GB DDR memory and 1Gbit Ethernet connectivity. It features two-channel 250Msps, 14-bit signal generation, 12-bit signal acquisition, and two-channel 250Msps. Accuracy and quality of the signal are assured with 12-bit ADC resolution, a frequency response of ±0.5 dB up to 45MHz and -3dB at 60MHz, and channel isolation >60dB (DC to 100MHz).
There are two input ranges of ±1V and ±20V. Outputs can generate signals ranging from DC to 60MHz frequency, with output voltage ranging from ±5V for a 50Ω load to ±10V for high impedance loads. The SIGNALlab 250-12 also features software control for attenuators, gain, and trigger level. There is one trigger input via a BNC connector on the front panel and one reference clock input (10MHz) via an SMA connector on the back panel. Signal capture is fast, with rise/fall time of 13ns input 1/20 and 11ns input 1/1.
The SIGNALlab 250-12 features a broad range of interfaces, including Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C, and 16 GPIOs. The device also boasts four additional slow analog inputs and outputs.
