RIGOL Technologies EU GmbH has integrated the two brand new self-developed Centaurus ASIC chips into the new 12 bit DHO1000 series. This series combines very high quality with an outstanding price/performance ratio and offers the user a variety of functions, such as the Ultra Acquire Mode. With these digital high-resolution oscilloscopes, a professional solution is coming onto the market that fits perfectly into the budget without making any compromises.

The DHO1000 series has a sampling rate of 2 GSa/s and is offered as a 2-channel as well as a 4-channel solution in bandwidths of 70, 100 and 200 MHz. The maximum memory depth is 100 Mpts. The minimum vertical adjustment is 500 µV/DIV for the DHO1000 series, so that even small signals can be measured.

The two new ASICs achieve a very low noise level of 50 µVrms for DHO1000. As with other RIGOL oscilloscope classes, the focus here was on the combination of high sampling rate, deep memory and very high measurement speed. Even the smallest amplitude deviations can be measured thanks to the vertical resolution of 12 bits. A high-resolution mode of up to 16 bits can also be activated. This means that very high resolutions in both the horizontal and vertical areas are combined with a very deep memory, thus expanding the variety of analysis.

Typical applications include analysis such as switching performance measurements in the power domain, automated tests in factories, protocol analysis for serial buses in vehicle electronics, electronic circuit measurements, applications in development and many more.

With Ultra Acquire, RIGOL has integrated a new form of analysis, with which a very fast trigger rate of 1,500 million wfms/sec. is reached. With this, very fast or sporadic and short events can be easily measured and displayed in different ways (e.g. waterfall, mosaic or superimposed) in order to be able to show undesired signal components optimally. Ultra Acquire can also be linked to the recording, analysis and navigation functions in order to take a look at the signal components for detailed analysis.

The devices have a very large 10.1 inch HD color touchscreen (1024*800) with 256 intensity levels and color tones for precise and clear signal display. The device can be connected to an external touch monitor via HDMI and USB and can be operated from there. Thanks to the extensive web control display (incl. screenshot, video, SCPI panel, etc.) and the FTP server connection, this series can be operated completely remotely without having to install an additional driver. The device is therefore ideal for teaching and for use at universities

Various trigger, math and display options (extended FFT of 1 million points, mask test and power analysis), an integrated signal search function is available as well as all the usual serial bus protocol analysis and trigger functions. The integrated voltmeter and a frequency counter round off the complete range of measurements. Various interfaces such as USB host, USB device, HDMI, LAN (10/100/1000 Base-T) and AUX OUT are also available.

An extensive range of accessories, such as active and passive probes, high-voltage probes(differential/single-ended), different current clamps (up to 500 amps), 19-inch installation frame andsoftware drivers for known packages is also available.

The hardware is equipped with photoelectric encoders for easy operation, which have very low abrasion and therefore a very long service life.

As a special feature, Rigol offers many extensions, such as higher bandwidths, or memory expansion via software upgrade. Serial triggering and decoding (SPI, I2C, RS232/UART, CAN and LIN) are included in the device as standard.

As always, Rigol hasn’t promised too much here and is offering these completely equippable oscilloscopes at the best price/performance ratio. The well-known 3-year Rigol warranty completes the offer for every user.
