Number of Channels / Differential Inputs

Hi Bart,
looks like you created a very powerful instrument. 8)
Is there any chance to synchronize 2 or 4 of them to make a 4 or even 8 channel scope? :idea: This would be extremely useful for us.
For a later model, is there a chance for differential or perhaps floating inputs? There's no nood for kilovolts isolation, 50 volts will do. It's just to avoid ground loops interfering the measured signals. That will be particularly useful for measuring in the field at industrial or automotive applications.
For contact details, please refer to my yesterday's e-mail.

Yes you can already link 2 instruments, time synched - see the Cleverscope 4 channel app on the resources page of the website.

We also agree that differential channels would be verey useful for many markets.

Can two linked units be used with labview 8.0 drivers?

Hi Bart,

are there any restrictions on the type of units to link together? Especially, is it possible to link a cheaper 10 Bit CS320A to my brand new 12 Bit CS328A to get 4 analogue and 8 digital channels?

Kind regards from Germany

Stephan,
Not only can you link the CS320A and the CS328A but you can also link an older and newer unit together - so a CS320A with a CS328. You need to ensure you have the latest firmware installed in both units for this to work.

Thanks for the information, Roger!

Are there Plans to connect more than two units? From the hardware's point of view it should be quite easy to build a n-way adapter.

Stephan,
Our bigger vision is to merge the two channel and four channel software and allow you to connect ""n"" acquisition units - although there are some practical limits! This is also being driven by the requirements of the ethernet interface. However, it is not our highest priority so do not hold your breath!
