Nuand BladeRF
Overview: bladeRF 2.0 micro
BitScopes are very cost effective and range from the tiny USB powered BitScope Micro to full sized industrial grade and networkable mixed signal oscilloscope solutions. They are all based on the unique and powerful BitScope Virtual Machine which means they can always be upgraded and customized dynamically in software.
