Rigol DS1000Z Series [DS1104Z] 100 MHz 4-Channel Digital Oscilloscope

The DS1104Z is a new entry level digital oscilloscope from Rigol that meets almost any customer's applications with its innovative technology, industry leading specifications, powerful trigger functions and broad analysis capabilities.  This advanced scope comes complete with 4 probes and features a display rate of up to 30,000 wfms/s, a sampling rate of 1GSa/s and a huge 12Mpts built-in memory. The DS1104Z is a versatile 4-channel 100 MHz oscilloscope with a 7 inch display. It features Rigol's high-end UltraVision technology as well as a host of options. Analysis, decoding, and deep memory make for a powerful 4 channel scope at an exceptional price.

Rigol’s UltraVision Technology is a hardware and software architecture accelerator which avoids burdening the embedded CPU by handling, calculating, and administering the huge amount of data produced by the fast A-to-D data conversion. A dedicated integrated sampling controller handles the data storage. The large data memory is directly connected with this sampling controller to achieve the most efficient data management. Additionally, a specially implemented waveform plotter function handles the data display together and the separate display data storage. Other functions such as Trigger, Pass/Fail decision, Record-Function control are also integrated in the hardware chipset, without needing processor resources. This design reduces the CPU burden in the oscilloscope to a minimum, resulting in a very fast waveform update rate.
