Rigol MSO5204 200Mhz Digital Oscilloscope - 4 Channels, 8GSa/s, 100Mpt Memory

The multifunctional Rigol MSO5204 integrates up to 7 instruments in 1 unit, combining a digital storage oscilloscope with a logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, digital voltmeter, frequency counter and totalizer, and options for an arbitrary waveform generator and protocol analyzer (purchased separately—see MSO5000-BND for more info). Analyze your critical signals with zone triggering, enhanced FFTs, color grading, and histograms all supported by the high sample rate, deep memory, and full memory measurements.

Every part of the unit is upgradeable, from the memory depth to the bandwidth to the breadth of capabilities, so users can pick and choose which features fit their needs and budget and rest easy knowing they can upgrade later. For maximum functionality and savings, purchase the MSO5000-BND, which bundles the full suite of serial decodings and application add-ons (including the function generator and power analysis) in one purchase.

**Half-channel mode: CH1 and CH2 are considered as a group; CH3 and CH4 are considered as another group. Each group share the same ADC sample, and either one of the channels in each group is enabled.

The powerful instrument uses Rigol’s innovative UltraVision II technology and Phoenix chipset, which provides high memory depth and sample rate, real-time waveform recording and playback functions, and an exceptional waveform capture rate of 500,000 wfms/s with minimal degradation and “dead-time” between trigger events.

Speaking of trigger events: the base unit provides a powerful array of trigger functions, including a touchscreen-based zone trigger function, which can help users accelerate the signal isolation process. The Serial Decoding Protocol option (purchased separately) adds even more functionality,  allowing the unit to decode 4 serial buses simultaneously, with options for decodings such as RS232/UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, I2S, FlexRay, and MILSTD-1553. 

MSO5204 features a 9-inch WVGA (1024x600) capacitive multi-touch screen with 256-level intensity grading display and a newly added color persistence function that can highlight the signal of different probabilities with a different color grading. With a 9 inch touchscreen, full set of knobs and buttons, and mouse support, the MSO5204 makes it easy to analyze signals in whichever way works best in your lab. The included interactive browser control allows interactive control from a phone or tablet, and the PC software provides remote operation and control. The programming interface makes it possible to automate complex test sequences.

About Rigol MSO5000 Series Digital Oscilloscopes

With a 9-inch capacitive multi-touch screen, the MSO5000 series integrates 7 independent instruments into one, delivering superb sample bandwidth ratio, extremely high memory depth, and other excellent specifications. It is compact and portable in design, and all of the MSO series products support multiple channels, bandwidths, and the upgrade of the analysis software. As it integrates many functions of multiple instruments, different user groups can have more choices in selecting their desired product based on their needs, helping them save their budget to a large extent while enjoying superior test support and user experience.
