GDS, MDO, and MSO series oscilloscopes

Range features

A high level overview of what this range offers

Digital storage oscilloscopes: digital storage oscilloscope – GDS series, mixed-signal oscilloscope – MSO series, mixed-domain oscilloscope – MDO series

  • The GDS series offers up to 500MHz bandwidth, 5GSa/s sampling rate, and a memory depth up to 25K/channel. PC interfaces such as USB, LAN, GPIB, RS-232 are integrated into the panel to satisfy data transmit/save needs. A complete oscilloscope to facilitate the engineer’s tasks in testing and manufacturing the associated products.
  • The MSO-2000 series is a mixed-signal oscilloscope, which offers dual analog channels + 16 digital channels or 4 analog channels + 16 digital channels.
  • MDO series is a multi-functional mixed domain oscilloscope. The series includes two feature combinations: a built-in spectrum analyser and a dual channel 25MHz arbitrary waveform generator. The MDO-2000EX models feature a built-in a spectrum analyser, arbitrary waveform generator, a 5,000 count DMM, and a 5V/1A power supply.

Handheld digital storage oscilloscope: GDS series

  • The handheld oscilloscopes introduce 7” capacitive full touch panel LCD which can be positioned in portrait and landscape display. The recharging battery design makes the series easy to operate for field operations. They are applicable in laboratories, R&D, large electric system tests, power product tests, motor tests, solar power battery inspection and repair, and maintenance personnel who are always on field assignments.
