The Rigol RPL1116 is an active logic probe that extends mixed-signal oscilloscope capabilities to compatible Rigol platforms. It delivers simultaneous acquisition across 16 digital channels (D0–D15), organized into two groups with dedicated signal and ground interfaces. The probe achieves precise logic-state detection with 10 ns minimum detectable pulse width and supports threshold adjustment from ±15 V, making it essential for embedded systems, microcontroller debugging, and digital protocol analysis alongside analog signal measurement.
