Red Pitaya STEMlab board

Overview

STEMLab 125-14 (originally Red Pitaya v1.1) vs. STEMLab 125-10

STEMLab is available in two versions which both offer the same functions and features, the difference is in the technical specification of high-frequency inputs and outputs, RAM capacity and some other differences (find more info in the comparison table below). They are addressed to target different groups and / or needs. Where STEMLab 125-14 has 14bit input / output channels for highly accurate measurement results in professional environments, STEMLab 125-10 has 10bit input / output channels and is perfect for universities, students and makers.
