Pulse 2.0 recently published an in-depth interview with Red Pitaya CEO Mateja Lampe Rupnik, highlighting the company’s journey and vision for open, FPGA-based test and measurement platforms.

In the interview, Mateja explains how Red Pitaya evolved from an internal innovation project into a globally used platform that combines oscilloscope, signal generator, spectrum analyzer, and logic analyzer functions in a single, compact device. Built on FPGA architecture and open-source software, Red Pitaya enables engineers, researchers, and educators to scale from learning and prototyping to real-world industrial deployment.

She also discusses the launch of the STEMlab 125-14 Gen 2, which delivers improved precision, lower noise, and enhanced synchronization while maintaining backward compatibility. The interview touches on Red Pitaya’s growing role in advanced fields such as quantum research, aerospace, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation, as well as its strong global community and fully bootstrapped growth.
