Introducing the Haasoscope Pro: The Affordable, Open, 2 GHz USB Oscilloscope!
Today marks the launch of the Haasoscope Pro—the world’s first affordable, open-everything, 2 GHz, 12-bit USB oscilloscope! As someone who’s always been passionate about fast data acquisition, I’m excited to share this groundbreaking oscilloscope with you. Thanks to recent advances in technology, we’ve made it possible to deliver a scope with impressive bandwidth at a price that’s accessible for more people than ever.
Here’s what makes the Haasoscope Pro stand out:
1. Unbeatable Cost
A 2 GHz oscilloscope for under $1000? That’s unheard of. Even 1 GHz scopes often cost thousands. But I’ve always wondered why—especially when the components needed aren’t that expensive. By using off-the-shelf parts and standard PCB fabrication methods, we’ve been able to achieve incredible performance without the high price tag.
2. Flexible and Expandable
The Haasoscope Pro comes with two input channels and an ADC running at 3.2 GS/s, but it doesn’t stop there. The modular design allows you to combine multiple units and automatically sync them for even higher performance. For example, pair two Haasoscope Pro units, and you get 6.4 GS/s sampling on the same input channel with the full 2 GHz bandwidth. Add more units for more channels when you need them. This modular approach enables us to keep costs down while offering scalability and flexibility.
3. Open Everything
I’m committed to making my projects open-source, and the Haasoscope Pro is no exception. Not only will you be able to dive deep into the design, but the community will also help improve and update the product in real time. You’ll have full access to all the details and the freedom to hack and extend the scope to suit your needs.
4. Compatible Probes
While any oscilloscope probes will work with the Haasoscope Pro, we’re offering two probes designed to complement its capabilities:
SensePeek 10x Passive Probe: This 500 MHz probe is perfect for lower sample rates (1.6 GS/s), where bandwidth is limited by the sample rate. It’s hands-free, with flexible arms that hold the probe steady on your device under test.
Haasoscope Pro-be Active Probe: Designed for higher sample rates and the full 2 GHz bandwidth, this open-hardware active probe is based on a recent design by James Wilson. Active probes with similar bandwidth typically cost thousands, but we’ve managed to keep the cost down by applying the same techniques used in the Haasoscope Pro.
