Rigol MSO5204 - Four Channel, 200 MHz MSO Digital / Mixed Signal Oscilloscope

Four channel, 200 MHz digital / mixed signal oscilloscope

• 100 Mpts memory depth, optional memory depth up to 200 Mpts
• 16 digital channels included - requires optional PLA2216 logic probe to operate
• High waveform capture rate (over 500,000 wfm/s)

The Rigol MSO5204 is a four channel, 200 MHz digital / mixed signal oscilloscope with a real time sample rate of up to 8 GSa/s. Easily upgraded, it features a 100 Mpts memory depth which is upgradable to 200 Mpts via software key code. It also includes 16 digital channels as a standard feature - simply add the optional PLA2216 logic probe to operate.

The Rigol MSO5000 series digital oscilloscope is a high performance instrument based on Rigol’s UltraVision II technology. With a real time sample rate of up to 8 GSa/s and extremely high memory depth, the MSO5000 seamlessly integrates 7 instruments into one - oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator and much more. The MSO5000 also features a 9 inch, capacitive multi touch screen with 256 level intensity grading and color persistence.

Small Body, Big Use

The innovative physical appearance and thin design of the instrument not only make the LCD display prominent, but also make it portable and easy to operate.

Super High Sample Bandwidth Ratio

Bandwidth and the sample rate are two key technical specifications that engineers take priority in choosing the digital oscilloscope. Bandwidth determines the maximum frequency that the oscilloscope can acquire. The higher the bandwidth of the oscilloscope, the better the oscilloscope can keep the steep, fast, abundant harmonics components and energies of the signal under test. Whereas the sample rate determines the time interval of the sample points, that is, determines the refinement of the outlined waveforms. The MSO5000 series provides a maximum of 8 GSa/s real-time sample rate and 23X sample rate/bandwidth ratio for 350 MHz bandwidth, which makes itself far ahead of the same level products.

While maintaining the super high sample rate of 8 GSa/s, the MSO5000 series also has a maximum of 200 Mpts memory depth, enabling itself to capture more events in one acquisition. This provides sufficient time for users to observe while retaining the waveform details to a large extent. Thus, users can not only get the detailed information about the waveforms, but also can take an overview of the waveforms.

7 into 1 Integrated Digital Oscilloscope

In today's integrated design field, a comprehensive digital oscilloscope has become a useful tool for design engineers. The MSO5000 series digital oscilloscope combines 7 independent instruments into 1, including a digital oscilloscope, 16-channel logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator, digital voltmeter, high-precision frequency counter and totalizer, and protocol analyzer. The MSO5000 series offers you a flexible and economical solution to fit your particular application.

Remote Wireless Control Software

The Web Control software is a standard configuration for the MSO5000 series. You can use the software to migrate the instrument control and waveform analysis to the PC, and then click the mouse to operate easily.

You only need to input the IP address of the oscilloscope into the address bar of the Web browser to open the Web Control software. The display of the waveform interface and instrument control in the software are consistent with that in the MSO5000 series. You can use the mouse to tap the keys or knobs in the Web Control interface to complete the waveform control, measurement, and analysis. In the Web Control interface, the basic information of the instrument is displayed, and you can also upload or download the files of the oscilloscope, control with the SCPI commands, set or modify the network status.
