# Pulse 2.0 Interviews Red Pitaya CEO on Open FPGA-Based Lab Instrumentation
- Posted by  [Mateja Lampe Rupnik](https://content.redpitaya.com/blog/author/mateja-lampe-rupnik) , January 22, 2026
I recently sat down with **Pulse 2.0** for an in-depth interview to talk about Red Pitaya’s journey, our vision for open FPGA-based test and measurement platforms, and where we are heading next.
During our conversation, we covered how Red Pitaya evolved from an internal innovation project into a globally recognized platform that combines oscilloscope, signal generator, spectrum analyzer, and logic analyzer capabilities into a single compact device. By pairing AMD Xilinx Zynq FPGA architecture with an open-source software ecosystem, we’ve empowered engineers, researchers, and educators to seamless transition from early prototyping to full industrial deployment.
We also discussed the release of our **STEMlab 125-14 Gen 2**—focusing on how we achieved improved precision, lower noise, and enhanced synchronization while keeping full backward compatibility—as well as our expanding presence in quantum research, aerospace, and industrial automation.
You can read the full interview over on [Pulse 2.0 here](https://pulse2.com/red-pitaya-profile-mateja-lampe-rupnik-interview/).
