Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Adds 16 Digital Channels

By DE Editors

Rigol Technologies has introduced the MSO4000 Series mixed signal oscilloscope. The new model includes 16 digital and up to four analog channels at bandwidths ranging from 100-500 MHz, and according to the company, it allows users to tackle more extensive signal analysis and digital decoding for testing and debugging of a wider range of analog/digital signals.

Featuring 28Mpts memory depth in each digital channel and 140Mpts in analog channels, the MSO4000 series delivers sample rates of 1 GSa/s digital and 4 GSa/s analog, and has a digital waveform capture rate of up to 85,000 wfms/s.

The company’s UltraVision technology allows for real-time waveform recording, replay and analysis of up to 200,000 frames (64,000 frames with digital), as well as a low noise floor with minimum analog vertical sensitivity measuring 1mV/div. The series supports serial bus triggers (standard) and decoding (optional) for both analog and digital channels. The new RPL2316 Logic Probe Adaptor makes high-speed digital measurements easier with support for multiple logic levels and a flexible interface, the company says.

It includes intuitive front panel controls and a 9-in. WVGA screen that features a 256-level intensity grading display, plus multiple trigger functions and several connectivity choices, including LAN (LXI-C), VGA,  AUX, USB Host and Device, and USB-GPIB (optional).
