Rigol DS2000A Provides High Sample Rate

By DE Editors

Rigol Technologies announced the DS2000A series digital oscilloscope, the latest addition to its family of test and measurement equipment. Featuring Rigol's UltraVision technology, the DS2000A delivers provides a high sample rate and long record length, the company says.

The unit offers bandwidths up to 300MHz and is available with an integrated full-function 25MHz, 2 channel generator saving equipment costs and bench space by reducing the need for an additional generator. The two-channel DS2000A provides a 2GSa/s maximum sample rate and 14Mpts record length (56Mpts optional).

It provides a wide vertical range of 500uV/div to 10V/div and a low noise floor for better signal fidelity and capture on smaller swing signals. In addition, a waveform capture rate of up to 50,000 wfms/s minimizes scope "dead time" between trigger events and increases observations of random and sporadic events, the company says. Serial triggering and analysis options provide analysis and debug of 12C, RS232, and SPI, CAN designs.

"By increasing the bandwidth, adding a full function generator and CAN bus triggering to our well received 2000 series scopes, Rigol has addressed an industry need," said Chris Armstrong, general manager. "The uncompromised performance of the DS2000A and 20 to 35 percent price advantage versus competitive models will really help our customers lower their overall cost of test."
