PoLabs PoScope Basic2
The PoLabs PoScope Basic2 is a 16-channel, 8MHz, USB-based logic analyzer (plus oscilloscope, signal/pattern generator, and more).
See PoLabs PoScope Basic2/Info for some more details (such as lsusb -vvv output) on the device.

Starting a sampling run
The command for starting an acquisition seems to be a 9-byte sequence.
| Byte | Description | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Samplerate divider | (see table below) |
| 1 | ||
| 2 | ||
| 3 | ||
| 4 | ||
| 5 | Trigger mask | Bit 0 is the mask for probe 0, bit 7 is the mask for probe 7. The same byte is used as trigger mask byte for bus A or bus B (only one at a time is possible). |
