RIGOL MSO/DS9000 Series Digital Oscilloscope

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.

Waveform Measurement and Analysis

The RIGOL MSO/DS9000 provides tools for both time-domain and frequency-domain waveform analysis.

Available measurement and analysis functions include:

• Automatic waveform measurements
• Cursor measurements
• FFT frequency analysis
• Waveform mathematics
• Histogram analysis
• Mask testing
• Search and navigation
• Waveform recording and playback
• Zone triggering
• Eye diagram analysis
• Jitter measurement and decomposition
• Power analysis
• Protocol triggering and decoding
• Compliance testing

The oscilloscope supports automatic measurement of up to 41 waveform parameters, helping users analyse signal amplitude, frequency, timing, pulse and statistical characteristics.

Some advanced analysis functions, compliance packages and protocol options may require separate software licences.

Serial Bus Triggering and Decoding

The MSO/DS9000 Series supports protocol triggering and decoding for embedded, automotive and communication applications.

Supported protocol options include:

• RS232/UART
• I2C
• SPI
• CAN
• CAN FD
• LIN
• FlexRay
• SENT
• I2S
• 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.

Eye Diagram and Jitter Analysis

Optional eye diagram and jitter-analysis tools support detailed evaluation of high-speed communication signals.

Analysis capabilities can include:

• Eye width measurement
• Eye height measurement
• Crossing percentage
• Timing margin analysis
• Clock recovery
• Jitter trend analysis
• Jitter spectrum analysis
• Random jitter evaluation
• Deterministic jitter evaluation
• Total jitter measurement

These functions are useful for signal-integrity testing, communication-interface development and compliance preparation.

Protocol Compliance Testing

The series supports optional compliance-testing workflows for several high-speed interfaces.

Available RIGOL application tools include:

• USB 2.0 compliance testing
• MIPI D-PHY compliance testing
• 10BASE-T1L Industrial Ethernet testing
• 10BASE-T1S Automotive Ethernet testing
• 100M and 1000M Ethernet testing
• 100M and 1000M Automotive Ethernet testing

The required software licence, test fixture, probe and accessory configuration should be confirmed before ordering.

Power Electronics Testing

With suitable voltage, differential and current probes, the RIGOL MSO/DS9000 can support detailed testing of power electronic circuits.

Typical power applications include:

• Switching-loss measurement
• Conduction-loss measurement
• Gate-drive signal testing
• Power-quality analysis
• Harmonic analysis
• Converter efficiency measurement
• Inrush current analysis
• Safe operating area testing
• Power-supply start-up analysis
• SiC and GaN power-device testing
• Control-loop response analysis

Probe selection must be based on signal bandwidth, maximum voltage, current range, common-mode voltage and required measurement accuracy.

Applications:

• Electronics design and debugging
• Embedded-system testing
• FPGA and microcontroller validation
• High-speed digital signal analysis
• Signal-integrity testing
• Clock and timing analysis
• Automotive ECU testing
• CAN and CAN FD bus analysis
• Automotive Ethernet testing
