RIGOL PLA2216
Logic Analyzer Probe
The PLA2216 is RIGOL's 16-channel logic analyzer probe. It connects to the digital-channel input of RIGOL's MSO5000, DHO900 and MHO900 oscilloscopes and turns those scopes into 4 + 16-channel mixed-signal instruments, so you can trigger on and decode a bus while watching the analog signals.

CH4Questions buyers ask
Which RIGOL scopes does the PLA2216 work with?
RIGOL lists it for the MSO5000, DHO900 and MHO900 series, whose digital channels are built in and enabled by this probe.
Does it work with the DS1000Z?
No. The DS1000Z Plus uses the RPL1116 logic probe instead.
What logic levels can it read?
The threshold is adjustable from -15 V to +15 V in 10 mV steps (per group of 8 channels), so it covers 1.8 V to 5 V logic and beyond.
What comes in the box with the RIGOL PLA2216?
RIGOL lists these standard accessories: PLA2216 logic probe, Cable, Test leads, Grabber clips.
Which instruments does the PLA2216 work with?
RIGOL lists it for the MSO5000 Series, DHO900 Series, MHO900 Series. Tell us your model in the quote request and we'll confirm.
Can I order the PLA2216 with an oscilloscope?
Yes. Add both to your quote list and we quote them together.
