New oscilloscopes integrate six instruments into one device

Saelig has availability of the Rigol DS/MSO7000 series of oscilloscopes, four-channel advanced specification oscilloscopes with an excellent 10GSa/s real-time sample rate. They are available in four bandwidth versions (100/250/350/500MHz) as well as mixed-signal options that provide 16 digital debug channels. Based on the company's new UltraVision II architecture and proprietary Phoenix chipset these scopes give 100Mpts memory depth (500Mpts option) and a high waveform capture rate of over 600,000 waveforms per second. This scope series combines several independent instruments into one, which includes a sophisticated digital oscilloscope with mixed-signal abilities, a 6-digit frequency counter, a digital voltmeter and totalizer, an optional two-channel arbitrary waveform generator, and a protocol analyser with a mixture of serial protocol triggers and decodes available. This series also allows automatic measurements for 41 waveform parameters and a mixture of math operations, built-in enhanced FFT analysis, and a peak search function. The 10.1" 1024x600 capacitive multi-touch screen supports touch gestures while retaining the knob and key operation of traditional digital oscilloscopes to optimise the user-friendly interactive experience. The TFT LCD also offers a 256-level intensity grading with colour persistence. Multiple interfaces are designed-in, which includes USB Host and Device, LAN(LXI), HDMI, TRIG OUT, and USB-GPIB (option). Web Control enables remote control of the scope from any location. Four 500MHz passive voltage probes are also provided with each instrument. The supplied bandwidth can be optionally upgraded up to 500MHz after purchase.
