Beaverton, OR. RIGOL Technologies has announced an addition to its oscilloscope portfolio with the introduction of the 7000 Series digital oscilloscope. With 10-GS/s sample rate and up to 500-M record length, the 7000 Series can deliver 20X oversampling on a 500-MHz signal, providing enhanced signal resolution while still capturing a full 50 ms of data.
The core of the 7000 Series oscilloscope is RIGOL’s new UltraVision II architecture and its Phoenix chipset. Two custom ASICs enhance analog front-end and signal-processing performance. These chips are surrounded by a high-performance hardware design including Xilinx Zync-7000 SoC, dual-core Arm-9 processors, Linux +Qt operating system, high-speed DDR system memory, and QDRII display memory. This architecture enables a high waveform capture rate of 600,000 waveforms per second, color-graded intensity display, and enhanced time-base accuracy and jitter performance.
“RIGOL will be celebrating our 20th anniversary in 2018. We shipped our first oscilloscope in 1999, and the 7000 Series represents our tenth-generation oscilloscope. We are very excited about our new proprietary chipset and the transformational capabilities it allows us to bring to market,” said Michael Rizzo, general manager of RIGOL North America. “Constant innovation has allowed RIGOL to reduce our customers cost of test while still delivering uncompromised performance products. The new Phoenix chipset is an investment in technology that will be a building block for years to come.”
The 7000 Series comes with a next-generation user interface giving the customers five unique ways to interact with their instrument. A 10.1-in. (1,024 x 600) display supports a responsive and intuitive touch navigation. Customers requiring a larger display can take advantage of the native HDMI support to drive large displays and control the instrument with a mouse. The DS7000 also supports a touch-enabled browser capability so you can control the instrument on your network via a tablet or smartphone. Traditional knobs, buttons, and soft keys are still available for those who choose to work with a traditional UI. Lastly, the UltraScope remote-control and display software will let users interface with the unit directly from their PC.
Solving customer’s challenges requires analysis capabilities, and the 7000 Series provides a comprehensive set of advanced analysis tools. Six-in-One capability provides multiple instrument types. An oscilloscope, logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, waveform generator, digital voltmeter, and counter/totalizer are all integrated into the 7000 Series. Tools include zone triggering, 41 precision measurements, multiple high-resolution color FFTs, and standard histogram and pass/fail analysis.
“We believe the 7000 Series is simply the most powerful and affordable mid-range oscilloscope in the market,” continued Rizzo. “With category-leading performance, robust analysis tools, and a next-gen UI, delivered at a starting price of only $2,699, we encourage customers considering the MDO3000 from Tektronix or the DSOX3000T from Keysight to compare the performance, features, and overall value of the RIGOL 7000 series oscilloscope.”
The 7000 Series is available and shipping now. There are eight Models (100 MHz, 200 MHz, 350 MHz, and 500 Mhz) with or without the logic analyzer (MSO).
