Posted by Batter Fly 01/06/2026 0 Comment(s) 41 Test y Medida,

Discover RIGOL MSO9000 and DS9000 series digital oscilloscopes. Advanced performance with bandwidth up to 6 GHz, sampling at 20 GSa/s, and vertical resolution up to 16 bits.

RIGOL MSO/DS9000 series digital oscilloscopes offer excellent performance in the domain of signal analysis. With a wide choice of analog bandwidths ranging from 2 GHz up to 6 GHz, this series guarantees an extreme real-time sampling rate reaching 20 GSa/s. Designed to meet key application needs in design, debugging, and testing, these instruments deliver an exceptional and accurate measurement experience.

Specifications and Technical Capabilities

The internal architecture of the MSO9000 and DS9000 oscilloscopes is structured not to miss any detail. The waveform capture rate reaches up to 1,000,000 wfms/s in fast recording mode, allowing glitches and sporadic events in the signal to be easily intercepted. The base memory depth is 500 Mpts for half-channel acquisition (200 Mpts for all-channel), with the possibility of expansion via option up to 2 Gpts (1 Gpts in all-channel), which ensures observations over extended time intervals while maintaining excellent resolution.

Measurement fidelity is further increased by the vertical resolution: the base 8-bit setting can reach from 9 up to 16 selectable bits in high-resolution (High-Res) mode. The series offers configurations from 2 to 4 analog channels (such as the 2-channel DS9202 and 4-channel DS9204 models), while the MSO9402 version integrates 2 analog channels and 16 optional digital channels dedicated to mixed-signal applications.

Advanced Integrated Analysis Tools

This series is not limited to the classic functions of an oscilloscope but serves as a true 6-in-1 analysis center. It allows you to replace an oscilloscope, function generator, digital voltmeter, frequency counter, and protocol analyzer. It offers options for advanced analysis such as real-time Eye diagram for evaluating communication signal integrity, and Jitter analysis to diagnose variations in technical specifications.

The integrated mathematical analysis and bus decoding functions support multiple functions simultaneously (such as 4 simultaneous decodings and FFT) to speed up bench work. For a better user experience, everything can be managed through a 10.1-inch HD capacitive touch screen display (1280x800 resolution) flanked by flexible knobs, housed within a compact and portable design.

Main Features in Detail

6 GHz pure lossless
6 GHz Pure Lossless Acquisition

The oscilloscopes in this series offer a maximum bandwidth of up to 6 GHz (in the DS9604 model), ensuring maximum signal integrity. High-frequency acquisition guarantees precise and high-performance measurements, supported by an analog front-end developed internally by RIGOL for maximum fidelity.

Advanced Analysis In One
Advanced Analysis in a Single Instrument

The series integrates multiple functionalities into a single device, combining the capabilities of an oscilloscope with advanced tools such as eye diagrams, Jitter analysis, multiple serial decoding protocols, and compliance tests for Ethernet and USB 2.0 protocols, significantly simplifying the workbench setup.

Compact Portable
Compact Design and Intuitive Experience

Despite the high performance, the MSO/DS9000 series maintains a compact and portable form factor, essential for optimizing laboratory space. The interface relies on a 10.1-inch HD capacitive touch screen display (1280x800 resolution) combined with practical flexible knobs (Flex Knobs) for fast and smooth control.

Deep memory zero misses
Deep Memory and Zero Missed Events

With a maximum expandable memory depth of 2 Gpts and a waveform capture rate reaching 1,000,000 wfms/s, it is possible to continuously record long hardware sequences in real time (up to 2,000,000 frames) without the risk of missing events that would compromise operation.

More reliable range switching
Reliable Range Switching

The hardware design ensures excellent noise floor performance and vertical precision to meet the most demanding measurement requirements, maintaining stability and accuracy during operations and range switching.

Eye diagram PAM-4
Eye Diagram and Jitter Analysis

The integration of options for advanced Jitter analysis and real-time eye diagram generation provides crucial support for evaluating fast signals, precisely measuring clock or data parameters and analyzing technical specification variance.
