Interfaces
Fast, flexible, and affordable, and it still has all the power you need to ignite student learning in your lab. The 550 is equipped with high-speed data collection, signal generation and power supply, FFTs, timers and more.
All the speed and power you need for your most demanding physics experiments. And it can replace most of the equipment in your physics lab including oscilloscopes, power supplies, timers, and function generators, multi-meters and more.
