RIGOL PLA2216 Logic Analyzer Probe, 16 Channel Digital Logic Probe, for MSO5000 Series

The RIGOL PLA2216 is a 16-channel active logic probe that extends RIGOL MSO5000, DHO900, and MHO900 series oscilloscopes with mixed-signal acquisition and analysis capabilities. It captures and analyzes digital signals across D0–D15 channels, organized into two independently configurable groups, enabling rapid debugging of complex logic systems without requiring additional licensing. The probe connects directly to the oscilloscope's front-panel digital signal input terminal and includes 32 leads with grabber clips for flexible signal and ground connections.
