RIGOL Technologies says its new DS2000A-(S) series digital oscilloscope come with lots of breakthrough technologies, ranging from the analogue front end to the trigger unit. Designed to reduce test time in research, development and failure analysis applications, the oscilloscopes make detecting signal and device characteristics easier than ever with comprehensive trigger functions,advanced hardware based real time waveform records, replay, search and analysis functions.

The oscilloscopes offer a bandwidth from 70MHz to 300MHz. The specially designed analogue front end delivers a lower noise floor and a wider vertical range (500 uV/div to 10 V/div) at full bandwidth.

The new series leverages Rigol’s "UltraVision" technologies from the DS6000 series with up to 2GSa/s sample rate and up to 56Mpts memory depth, so that it’s easy to capture long time signals with higher timing resolution. Up to 50,000 wfms/s waveform capture rate with the 256 level intensity grading display enables you to see the infrequent events quickly. The standard hardware-based real time waveform record, replay and analysis function is a powerful debug tool to find anomalies easily.

With up to 16 trigger functions including Runt, Setuphold, Windows, Nth Edge, etc. and automatic measurements with statistics, Rigol's DS2000A-(S) series is perfect for a broad range of applications. These digital oscilloscopes feature serial bus trigger and decodes such as I2C, SPI, RS232, CAN-Bus as well as advanced math functions. Rigol also offers a variety of active and passive probes and other accessories. It’s worth mentioning that the serial bus trigger is a standard feature, while decoding is an option.

An easy-to-read, large 8in colour display offers an attractive profile. Also included is the multi-language GUI (user interface) to configure the scope. Thin and lightweight, the oscilloscopes can fit in tight spaces and are portable..

With the optional built-in 2 channel 25MHz Arbitrary Waveform Generator (-S) it is easy to download acquired data and run for stimulation directly out of this built-in generator for specific test solutions.

Designed to meet the requirements of R&D engineers, production test engineers and advanced researchers with its innovative technology, industry-leading specifications, powerful trigger functions and broad analysis capabilities, Rigol's DS2000A-(S) series is ideal for applications in the communications, aerospace/defense, research and education, industrial and consumer electronics, computing and instrumentation industries.

DS2000A-S Series oscilloscopes are available in 70MHz, 100MHz, 200MHz, 300MHz and 2 channels varieties. New 1MOhm/50Ohm input impedance is switchable.
