Red Pitaya Open Source Instrument

Red Pitaya Open Source Instrument V1.0.1

Red Pitaya is an open source measurement and control tool in size of a credit card (dimensions: 107 x 60 x 21 mm). It can replace many expensive laboratory measurement instruments.

The Red Pitaya unit is a network attached device based on Linux operating system. It includes Radio Frequency signal acquisition and generation technologies, FPGA, Digital Signal Processing and CPU processing.

The Red Pitaya unit is equipped with a Micro USB socket used for console connection, a Micro SD slot for Micro SD memory card, a RJ45 socket for Ethernet connection and a USB socket used for standard USB devices.

PC-based Instruments
Being several instruments in one small unit, PC-based oscilloscopes are lighter and more portable than traditional test equipment. A field engineer can thereby carry a complete electronics lab loaded onto a notebook computer.

Compact and portable
Can provide a large and detailed colour display on your PC monitor.
Simultaneous views of scope, spectrum analyser and meter modes.
Analogue intensity and digital colour display modes.
Signal storage is limited only by the PC's memory.
Captured waveforms and instrument settings can be shared easily with others.
New functionality through free software upgrades.
Can be used with desktop or laptop PCs
