Hello Galfonz,

Thanks for these informations :-)

The tektronix DPO3034 oscilloscope runs under a Linux Based realtime OS.

The computer part is built around an AMCC PPC440EP embedded microcontroller associated with an Intel 48F4400P0VB00 512Mbit flash memory.

As I understand the Cyclone II FPGA image is stored in the intel flash memory and is loaded at startup into that FPGA, right?

I have another interrogation...This scope has a high resolution color lcd panel, but I have noticed that there's no graphics chipset, and I m suspecting that this function is processed by the Cyclone II FPGA, do you think it is powerful enough to accomplish this task?

Thanks again,
