multi XY views

(1/5) > >>

metebalci:
I am looking for a way to have multi XY views. I have a (8-bit) digital scope with a single XY view. The output is OKish quality wise for me but I want to display multiple of these. What are my options ? I saw some scopes have XYY which is OK but not ideal for me. I dont need much bandwidth, even 20MHz would be fine. Should I look for multiple basic analog scopes ? Multiple basic digital scopes ? I havent seen any scope that can do more than XYY (XY and ZU etc), is there any such unit ? It can be PC based, can PicoScope or other such units can do this ? Does the bit depth (8 vs 10 vs 12) of a digital scope have a major impact on XY view as well ?

How many is "multi"?

What's the budget?

Do you mean something like you want use a 4-channel scope with two separate XY displays from CH1/CH2 and CH3/CH4?  Or something else? There may be some DSOs that can do that, but I haven't seen one and I suspect that it would be higher-end models that can do this if any.  Perhaps something like a Picoscope can do it in software?  As for analog, this is the closest I know of and it is a bit of an unusual case:

By multi I mean not more than 4, 4 would be great (4 XY so 8 channels in total if not shared, if shared, I can live with 4 channels).

Up to a few K$ for an ideal unit, but it depends, if I can use it for other purposes the budget might be higher. I can get 4 analog scopes for 1K$ but it is not very ideal as they will consume lots of space and it is difficult to capture etc.

Yes. Ideally I would like to divide screen to four, and use 4 quadrants in XY mode with any combination of 4 channels. Depending on the cost and capability, I will decrease my expectations. I think I should search more about PC based scopes, I havent used any before. This is more like -I think- digitize all channels and display them, much less functionality than a scope.
