**Shout Out to This Week's Sponsor, Altera!**
In this week's Teardown Session Crowd Supply's Helen Leigh speaks with Dr. Andy Hass, creator of Haasoscope and Haasoscope Pro. With a whopping 2 GHz of bandwidth, Haasoscope Pro is the first open-source, open-hardware, affordable, high-bandwidth, real-time sampling oscilloscope. In this wide-ranging conversation, Andy and Helen cover all things oscilloscope, from basic use cases to esoteric, high bandwidth design details. Plus live demos!
Haasoscope Pro is part of Altera Innovation Lab, sponsors of this week's stream.
