Rigol 4-Channel Scope Makes for Economic Desktop
September 19, 2013. Rigol Technologies Inc. has introduced the DS1000Z Series digital oscilloscope, the latest addition to the company's scope family, featuring Rigol's UltraVision technology. The new DS1000Z is available in 70- or 100-MHz bandwidths and, the company said, provides the performance expected from a modern 4-channel oscilloscope, but at the cost of a traditional 2-channel scope.
The 4-channel DS1000Z features a memory depth of 12 Mpts standard, which can be extended to an optional 24 Mpts. The DS1000Z has a 1-GS/s maximum sample rate (single channel), while the DS1000Z-S includes an additional two built-in 25-MHz waveform-generator channels. DS1000Z oscilloscopes also feature a waveform capture rate of 30,000 waveforms/s (maximum).
Using Rigol's UltraVision technology, the DS1000Z series can capture up to 60,000 frames of real-time waveforms. Prices start at less than $600.
The company demonstrated its product lineup this week at Autotestcon.
