Description

 

STEMlab 125-14 is our most versatile and popular product, which was introduced to the market in 2013 when Red Pitaya was established. Since then it has been used in wide variety of contexts, from hobbyists and ham radio operators to industry, research and space applications.

It has two 125Msps 14-bit inputs and two 14-bit outputs, Xilinx Zynq 7010 FPGA and offers remote access, with an online app user interface accessible through Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Key features:

  • Credit-card sized RF signal acquisition and generation platform
  • Ethernet connectivity
  • Xilinx SoC (CPU & FPGA)
  • Two fast analog inputs and two outputs
  • Possibility of integration into own system/product
  • Open software source code available
  • Works with Linux or Windows PC
  • Can be used as an oscilloscope & signal generator, spectrum, Bode analyzer, logic analyzer, LCR meter*, streaming, SDR, or vector network analyzer*
  • Can be controlled remotely using LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python, or Scilab
  • Can be re-programmed to meet custom needs
  • Supported by an app marketplace with several free apps available

* Requires an extension module.
