  • Detail
  • Special Features
  • Specification

The RIGOL MSO/DS9000 Series Digital Oscilloscope is designed for engineers, research laboratories, electronics manufacturers and industrial testing teams that need reliable measurement performance for complex electronic systems.

The series supports applications ranging from circuit debugging and design verification to high-speed bus testing, signal-integrity analysis, automotive electronics, power electronics and production validation. It includes digital oscilloscope and mixed-signal oscilloscope models with bandwidth options from 2 GHz to 6 GHz.

Model Options

The series includes five configurations:

  • DS9202: 2 GHz bandwidth and two analog channels
  • DS9204: 2.5 GHz bandwidth and four analog channels
  • DS9404: 4 GHz bandwidth and four analog channels
  • DS9604: Up to 6 GHz bandwidth and four analog channels
  • MSO9402: 4 GHz bandwidth, two analog channels and 16 digital channels with an optional logic probe

This model range allows users to select an oscilloscope according to the required bandwidth, number of channels, sample rate, memory depth and mixed-signal testing requirements.

High-Speed Signal Acquisition

Selected models provide a maximum real-time sampling rate of up to 20 GSa/s, helping engineers capture fast signal transitions and inspect waveform details more accurately.

The high sampling rate is useful for:

  • High-speed clock analysis
  • Fast-edge characterisation
  • Serial bus testing
  • Communication interface validation
  • Signal-integrity measurements
  • Intermittent fault investigation
  • Power-device switching analysis

The actual sample rate can depend on the model and the number of analog channels enabled during acquisition.

Deep Memory for Long Signal Capture

The MSO/DS9000 Series supports memory depth up to 2 Gpts with the appropriate optional memory configuration. Deep acquisition memory allows engineers to capture longer time periods while retaining useful waveform detail.

This is particularly useful for:

  • Long serial bus acquisitions
  • Power converter start-up analysis
  • Communication packet investigation
  • Intermittent event detection
  • Embedded-system debugging
  • Timing sequence verification
  • Long-duration waveform recording

The DS9202 uses a 10 Mpts memory configuration, while selected higher-end models support deeper standard and optional memory configurations.

Fast Waveform Capture

The series supports waveform capture rates of up to 1,000,000 waveforms per second in fast recording mode. This improves the probability of detecting rare signal events that may not appear during slower acquisition.

Engineers can use this capability to identify:

  • Glitches
  • Runt pulses
  • Timing violations
  • Abnormal signal transitions
  • Signal dropouts
  • Unstable clock behaviour
  • Intermittent circuit faults

Hardware waveform recording supports up to 2,000,000 frames with the appropriate configuration, allowing captured events to be replayed and analysed after the test.

  • MIL-STD-1553B

Protocol decoding displays communication data alongside the electrical waveform. This helps engineers identify invalid packets, timing problems, bus errors and intermittent communication faults.

Protocol availability depends on the selected model and installed software licences.

Higher-resolution processing can help:

  • Reduce visible random noise
  • Improve small-signal visibility
  • Reveal minor waveform variations
  • Support detailed power measurements
  • Improve low-frequency measurement clarity

The available resolution, bandwidth and sample rate can vary according to the selected acquisition mode.

Up to 2 Gpts Memory Depth

Optional memory up to 2 Gpts supports longer waveform captures without immediately reducing sample resolution.

Deep memory improves:

  • Serial bus debugging

  • Intermittent fault investigation
  • Detailed waveform zooming

Up to 1,000,000 wfms/s Capture Rate

The fast recording mode provides a capture rate of up to 1,000,000 wfms/s. This helps engineers detect occasional abnormalities and rare faults more efficiently.

Up to 2,000,000 Recording Frames

Hardware waveform recording allows long sequences of waveform events to be stored and replayed.

Users can:

  • Review recorded events
  • Search for abnormal waveform conditions
  • Navigate between waveform frames
  • Compare normal and abnormal events
  • Analyse faults after an extended test

Solid Electronic Attenuator

The MSO/DS9000 Series uses a Solid Electronic Attenuator instead of a conventional mechanical attenuation system.

This design is intended to provide:

  • Longer switching life

  • Reliable voltage-range switching
  • Better performance in repetitive testing
  • Improved suitability for production environments
  • Reduced maintenance requirements

The electronic attenuator is especially relevant for automated systems that repeatedly switch between measurement ranges.
