Saelig Adds New Rigol DS8000-R Series Rackmount 2GHz Oscilloscope Series

The advanced DS8000-R series has been designed around Rigol’s own proprietary Phoenix ASIC chip and integrates six independent instruments into one, including a digital oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a 25MHz AWG, a DVM, a high-precision frequency counter and totalizer, and a serial protocol analyzer.

Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the Rigol DS8000-R Series 4-channel Digital Oscilloscopes. These compact 1U half-rack-width instruments are available in 350MHz/1GHz/2GHz versions with a maximum sampling rate of 10GSa/s. In addition to their use installed in a test rack cabinet, these instruments can be conveniently used on a workbench, occupying minimal bench space and appropriately angled using the built-in prop feet. The DS8000-R series has been designed around Rigol’s proprietary Phoenix ASIC chip and UltraVision II technical platform. It integrates six independent instruments into one unit, including a digital oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a 25MHz arbitrary waveform generator, a digital voltmeter, a high-precision frequency counter and totalizer, and a serial protocol analyzer. All extensions, such as higher bandwidth, serial decoding, and the AWG functions are available via software upgrade, even after purchase. The DS8000-R series of scopes offers a memory depth of 500Mpts and a waveform capture rate of up to 600,000wfms/s. This enables glitches and infrequent events in waveforms to be quickly identified, greatly improving an engineer’s debugging capabilities.

The DS8000-R series does not have an LCD display or monitor but relies on an external display or PC for parameter setting and viewing measurement results. A web browser, a PC, or a USB-connected mouse or keyboard can be used to control these oscilloscopes. The optional two-channel 25MHz AWG can provide 13 pre-defined waveforms, while the optional Serial Protocol Analysis and Triggering mode can decode RS232/UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, I2S, and MIL-STD-1553 signals. Connectivity includes USB, LAN, and HDMI as standard, with USB-GPIB and SFP+ as options. The unique SFP+ optical transceiver interface provides 10Gb/s data transmission. When performing the acquisition of large amounts of data remotely the DS8000-R series, when equipped with the HSDC option, ensures real-time and reliable transmission requirements needed by industrial automation and other challenging tasks. The DS8000-R features real-time eye diagram and jitter analysis, as well as jitter trend representations for digital analysis applications.

The DS8000-R series supports multi-unit synchronous triggering to extend the number of input channels. This provides an excellent solution for multi-channel data acquisition and system test integration requirements. Several racks of DS8000-R scopes can be cascaded together with a synchronization module to create a multiple channel measuring device with up to 512 synchronized analog input channels.

Designed for extreme operational environments from -40degC to +50degC, the DS8000-R Rackmount Oscilloscope Series is made by Rigol Technologies Inc., a leading manufacturer of precision electronic instrumentation for test and measurement. The series is available now from Saelig Company, Inc., their USA technical distributor.
