    Default Amazing DIP size Instrument!

    Here is an amazing instrument in a very small size.

    It is not PIC based though but Atmel...

    Not yet, mainly because it is outside EU and import taxes are more than the product itself!

    Saelig is just an importer/dealer - they do not manufacture. At least, they did not in the past. You might find the product elsewhere.

    @mackrackit: I've bought a few things from Saelig with no complaints. They've also been helpful in getting technical questions answered by the manufacturers they represent. (e.g. WIZNet)

    My guess is that it is made in China. As mentioned by the OP, it uses an ATXMEGA32A4 32KB Flash, 4KB SRAM and sells for $49. The 128x64 OLED display is definitely made in China is available on FleaBay for about for about $5-7 such as here 128X64 OLED LED Display Module

    A local (USA) vendor also has it ($3.10/1,000) CFAL12864N-A-B1


    Here is the same display used in a $19 MP3 Player USB Rechargeable 1.0" LCD MP3 Player - Red (2GB)

    The "amazing" goes to the whole idea and software implementation. It has good specs for the size/cost.

    Of course the parts are cheap, no-one disagrees.

    Agreed - although I don't know how useful a 40kHz 2-Ch DIP-Size Mixed Signal Scope would be.

    It is 320KHz scope and 40KHz AFG.

    I don't know why they present it as 40KHz on the main page. On the Specs tab it says 320KHz with 2Ms Sampling rate.

    OK, 320KHz is not anything shocking but regarding the size and resources... it is OK.

    Hi,

    A friend of mine bought it ~ Two years ago " just to see " ...

    a " must have " in the Field tool box he tells ...

    he is very happy with it as a gentle display, mainly to check R/C coder and servos signals ... of course not trying to precisely measure, but see " how it looks " ...

    Note he ALSO is the owner of a Fluke " scopemeter " ...
