The adaptable, modular platform evolves with technology, meeting industrial performance requirements with flexible, software-defined instrumentation. The Gen 2 series consists of three models: the STEMlab 125-14 Gen 2, the STEMlab 125-14 Pro Gen 2, and the STEMlab 125-14 Pro Z7020 Gen 2. All offer enhanced RF input performance with reduced noise, crosstalk, and distortions. Output voltage range is ±1 V at 50 Ω and ±2 V at high impedance.

STEMlab 125-14 Pro Gen 2 targets demanding applications in industrial environments, featuring an E3 connector for more reliable booting options such as QSPI and eMMC, an onboard external clock selector, and multichannel synchronization. The STEMlab 125-14 Pro Z7020 Gen 2 offers 1 GB of DDR memory for longer capture times, additional GPIOs on E1 for expanded functionality, an E3 connector for more reliable booting options, and eight additional high-speed differential pairs.
