Batronix MSO Demo Board

5 Reviews

Training and demonstration board for oscilloscopes – perfect for training and educational purposes.

The board features a variety of signals such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, Manchester, and a parallel bus. It includes an RF test section, an RF output, and a demo filter for Bode plots. An integrated function generator provides sine, square, triangle, and ramp signals, with adjustable frequencies ranging from 0.2 Hz to 10 kHz in 16 steps. Additionally, it can output test signals like sweep, burst, AM modulation, PWM, noise, error, and much more.

Description

The Batronix MSO Demo Board provides a wide variety of signals and experiments to demonstrate the functions of your oscilloscope or logic analyser, all on a compact board. This makes it ideal for use in training and education, from the beginner to the advanced user.

The built-in small function generator with 16 frequency steps as well as the RF signal source offers even after the training a lasting value for everyday development work.

Overview

Power supply, USB type B (5 V DC)
Two configuration switches for selecting waveform type, speeds, serial interfaces and other parameters
Slotted holes for easy access to measurement of digital signals, e.g. using probe clamping hooks
Pin header (2.54 mm) for measuring available digital signals, e.g. for logic analyzer Dupont connectors
Output of PWM signals
Jumper for configuration of terminations, RF signal and Bode plot demo filter
RF test track for demonstration of RF effects and terminations
RF signal output via BNC socket, further BNC socket with adjustable termination and as input of the Bode plot demo filter
Signal taps of the Bode plot demo filter
Signal outputs of the function generator (50 Ohm, low-pass filtered and unfiltered)

Waveform Generator

On the demo board there is a function generator, which can generate a number of different different waveforms via a 10 bit DAC at 200 kSa/s.

Sine, square, triangle and ramps in the frequency range 0.2 to 10000 Hz (in 16 steps)
Sweep, burst, AM modulation, PWM, DC with adjustable parameters
Sine and square wave signals with noise or errors (noise / error frequency adjustable in 16 steps)
Various other test signals to learn the use of the different oscilloscope triggers among other things
The signals are amplified via operational amplifiers and put out low-pass filtered on one BNC socket and unfiltered on another BNC socket

Trigger effectively

Get to know the trigger options of your oscilloscope properly and trigger more effectively. The demo board provides you with suitable signals of common problems and the training documentation shows you when which trigger is helpful.

Decoding interfaces

Learn how to trigger and decode different interfaces. On the demo board there are different standard interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART) with bidirectional communication as well as a 7-bit parallel bus on which also CAN / CAN-FD and LIN communications run.

The signals are available on long holes for tapping with probe clamp hooks and on pin headers for tapping with logic analyzer Dupont connector.

SPI, I2C and UART interfaces with bidirectional communication.
16 interface configurations and various messages
16 baud rates/frequencies
CAN, CAN-FD, LIN and Manchester communication (with and without errors)

See and handle RF signals

See reflections and other effects of fast signals, learn why a good probe ground termination is important and the effects of improper termination.

There are two very fast logic gates on the demo board that can be used to demonstrate a range of RF effects, the need for good probe ground connections and suitable termination.

RF test track with 450 ps rise time (RF and termination demo on PCB’s)
BNC output with 450 ps rise time signal (RF and termination demo with cables)
BNC termination input with selectable termination (33/50/75/open)

Training material

Chapter 1 of the manual provides an overview and general information about the demo board. The training section begins with Chapter 2, where you will learn step- by-step how to use your oscilloscope with the help of the demo board. Chapter 3 is about decoding interfaces and Chapter 4 is about high and radio frequency (HF/RF) effects.

Throughout the tutorial there is always room for your own experiments, while at the same time a possible solution to the experiment is presented. The wide range of variations allows for an individual measurement experience.
