The MEphisto Scope is a multi-functional, universal instrument including a 2-channel 16 bit digital storage oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer with FFT, a volt meter, a logic analyzer, a data logger and 24-channels of digital-I/O. The universal instrument has a rugged metal housing. The UM203 version acts as stand-alone logger and writes the captured data to an SD-card. The new MEphistoLab2 software package increases the productivity of the MEphisto Scope UM20x even more!

The first version of the MEphistoLab software has now been replaced by MEphistoLab2. This software is completely new and is the result of the cooperation between Meilhaus Electronic and MCD Elektronik. The MEphistoLab2 still offers the various features such as oscilloscope (incl. XY, spectrum/FFT), volt meter, logger and logic analyzer. Many new functions and a very intuitive user interface improve the software even further.
The user interface can be arranged and the settings saved. Besides the graphic display with zoom and auto-scale functions there is also a list display available that shows the vital values such as RMS (AC/DC) and frequency to name a few. The software can export the data as binary-, XML-, and as CSV-data making it compatible to Excel. The integrated viewer can be used to display recorded signals. There is also a script-editor included that allows the experienced user to edit the functions of the scope to create specific, even automated measurement tasks. The integration into other software routines that support the Microsoft-technologies COM/DCOM, ActiveX, DLL or .Net-Assemblies is also possible. As an example this can be used to make and display measurements directly in Excel. A 7-minute video demonstrates the most important software features and the help-file is very comprehensive but easy to use.
Existing users of the MEphisto Scope can download the new software from the Meilhaus Electronic website. New devices will be shipped including MEphistoLab2. The free software can even be tested without a connected device.
