Rigol adds ultra-portable oscilloscopes

Rigol Technologies has added two new ultra-portable series to its family of high-resolution oscilloscopes. The new DHO800 and DHO900 series offer a compact design for use in both on-site and desktop testing.

The DHO800/900 oscilloscopes offer true 12-bit resolution with low noise for “excellent” signal fidelity and analysis. Both series also feature a seven-inch intuitive touch screen display and support type-C power. They are powered by the new UltraVision III platform featuring a custom ASIC chipset, which is reported to provide dramatically lower front-end noise.

“The higher resolution and lower noise enable users to analyze much smaller signal artifacts with greater speed and accuracy,” Rigol said.

The DHO900 oscilloscopes are available in 125 to 250-MHz bandwidths, four channels, 16 digital channels, 1.25 GSa/sec sampling and 50 MPts of memory standard. It offers a 1,000,000 wfms/s waveform capture rate. The scopes can be used in R&D, education and scientific research applications.

The DHO800 scopes offer 70 to 100-MHz bandwidths, four analog channels,1.25 GSa/sec sampling and 25 MPts of memory standard. It also offers a 1,000,000 wfms/s waveform capture rate. A more economical scope, it can be used in basic R&D, embedded design and electronics component troubleshooting and testing applications.

Rigol’s new oscilloscope technology and ASIC chipset enable sampling with true 12-bit resolution, which reduces the quantization level between bits by a factor of 16 for higher precision, said the company. The chipset also is said to offer significantly lower noise floor than traditional oscilloscopes.

The oscilloscopes also feature the company’s UltraAcquire Burst Capture technology that allows users to capture signals at a faster rate as well as visualize them in multiple display modes including density, waterfall, perspective and mosaic.

Prices for the DHO900 and DHO800 range from $599 to $799 and $299 to $499, respectively. Please visit product pages for pricing.
