Rigol RPL1116 16-Channel Digital Probe Active Logic Head

The Rigol RPL1116 is a 16‑channel active logic probe head that extends Rigol MSO1000Z‑series oscilloscopes with dedicated digital channel analysis for complex mixed-signal debugging. It provides D0 through D15 channels, split into two banks (D0–D7 and D8–D15), each with its own signal and ground interfaces to support flexible hookup of digital signals. The kit ships as a complete set including a main cable and one active logic head along with a large accessory bundle—32 data leads and 32 grabbers plus a packing box—to enable rapid, organized connections to the device under test. Connection methods allow any number of signals up to 16, using color‑coded leads and channel labels to keep wiring clear, while automatic zero calibration can be performed via the oscilloscope’s LA (logic analyzer) menu for quicker setup. The probe supports independent threshold adjustment per bank, enabling precise logic level detection across different signal families, and warns about ground bounce when sharing a single ground lead, recommending additional ground wires for each channel when needed. Designed for real‑time multi‑channel capture, the RPL1116 is particularly well suited for verifying digital interfaces, bus protocols, and microcontroller communications within a mixed-signal workflow, providing a direct, hands‑on view of digital states across a wide range of signals without leaving the oscilloscope’s interface.
