Fairport, NY, USA: Saelig Company, Inc. – (www.saelig.com) has announced the availability of MSO functionality to their range of Rigol DS2000A and DS1000Z scopes. The mixed-signal extension provides digital signal debug capabilities to the user, allowing simultaneous viewing of analog and digital signals for comprehensive signal analysis. Both models leverage Rigol’s Ultravision technology from the DS6000 series, offering superior performance and functionality in this class. 

Designed to reduce test time in research, development and failure analysis applications, the MSO2000A and MSO1000Z series digital oscilloscopes facilitate detecting signal and device characteristics with comprehensive trigger functions, hardware-based real time waveform records, replay, search and analysis functions. The multi-lingual user interface allows easy configuration of the oscilloscopes in the local language. 

The analog specs are similar to the existing DS1000Z and DS2000A devices, but the capabilities are significantly extended by the addition of 16 digital MSO logic analyzer channels, enhancing debug capabilities with the capture of analog and digital signals at the same time. The digital sampling rate is 1 GSa/s for 8 DIOs and 500MSa/s for 16 DIOs. With up to 30,000 wfrm/s waveform capture rate along with the 256 level intensity grading 7″ (1000 series) or 8″ (2000 series) display, users can quickly identify infrequent analog events and the digital signal that may have caused or accompanied them. Trigger functions include, among others, runt, setup-hold, windows, edge, and automatic measurements with statistics. These digital oscilloscopes feature serial bus trigger and decodes such as I2C, SPI, RS232, CAN Bus (MSO DS2000A) as well as advanced math functions. With an optional built-in 2-channel 25MHz Arbitrary Waveform Generator it is possible to download acquired data and run stimulation signals directly out of this built-in generator for specific test solutions.   

Designed with its innovative technology to meet the requirements of R&D engineers, production test engineers, and advanced researchers, these new MSO scopes offer industry-leading price/performance specifications, powerful trigger functions, and broad analysis capabilities. These MSO oscilloscopes are ideal for applications in the communications, aerospace/defense, research and education, industrial and consumer electronics, computing and instrumentation industries.
