Logic Analyzer with 1GHz Sampling Rate

Today I was pleased to discover this: DreamSourceLab DSLogic U3Pro32 USB-Based Logic Analyzer with 1GHz Sampling Rate, 2Gbits Memory, USB 3.0 Interface, 32 Channels.

There are some notes from the manufacturer over here: DSLogic Series USB-based Logic Analyzer.

It’s a logic analyzer which can operate at 1GHz that’s within my price range. I’m not rushing off to buy this thing, but it is certainly on my list.

The only other thing I have seen that compares to this logic analyzer is this RIGOL DS70304/DS70504– Digital Oscilloscope 3GHz/5GHz 4 Channel 20GSa/s 2Gpts 1000000 wfms/s which is roughly two orders of magnitude more expensive.

I made a cable!

Been pottering in my lab:

I have this USB Logic Analyzer which I want to test:

Figured this was a great chance to try out my new XR2206 function generator:

Hmm. Needs power! The XR2206 datasheet said it could support a wide supply range, from 10V to 26V. Figured this was a good chance to try out my new ATX power break out board:

I need a power cable from round lugs on the ATX supply:


to DC male for the function generator:

connected with a good length of wire:

and professionally finished with heat-shrink tubing:

had to break out my soldering station:

and make myself a power cable:

to connect the ATX power supply:

to the function generator:

Testing the logic analyzer can wait for another day. :)
