LabTool

LabTool is a versatile and powerful addition to your lab bench!
It is an add-on board to LPC-Link 2 (which is based on the LPC4370 - a 204 MHz Cortex-M4 with an 80 MHz ADC and two extra Cortex-M0 cores). LabTool make use of all features on the LPC4370, creating a powerful development tool.

11 channel logic analyzer (up to 100Msamples per second)
2 channel oscilloscope (up to 80 Msamples per second, 6MHz BW)
11 channel digital signal generator (up to 80 Msamples per second)
2 channel analog signal generator (40kHz BW)

The feature rich Windows software interface supports:

One shot and continuous sampling
Sorting and moving of signals
SPI, I2C, UART signal interpreters
Project settings can be saved and restored
Collected data can be exported
Four cursors available to help interpret captured data
Open source software
Prepared for running under Linux and MAC

LabTool Case

One of our customers, Christoph Klein, has contributed with a case for LabTool. You can find more information and files on Thingiverse.
