High-Performance Signal Validation: The New RIGOL MSO/DS9000 Series

**MSO/DS9000 Series Digital Oscilloscope**

The release of the MSO/DS9000 Series marks a significant milestone in RIGOL’s high-performance instrument lineup. Built on a next-generation hardware platform, this series is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of advanced debugging, signal integrity validation, and high-speed serial analysis. With bandwidths up to 6 GHz and a real-time sampling rate of 20 GSa/s, the DS9000 Series provides the precision necessary for complex design and compliance-oriented workflows.

Hardware Architecture and Signal Acquisition

The DS9000 supports a maximum memory depth of 2 Gpts, allowing for long-duration captures while maintaining high sample rates. For precision measurements, the vertical resolution is user-selectable from 8 to 16 bits, facilitating the analysis of low-level signal components in complex waveforms.

Waveform Capture Rate: Up to 1,000,000 wfms/s (in fast recording mode) to identify transient anomalies.

Vertical Sensitivity: 1 mV/div to 10 V/div (1 MΩ) or 1 mV/div to 1 V/div (50 Ω).

Analysis Tools: Hardware-based zone triggering, real-time eye diagrams, jitter analysis, and standard/optional protocol decoding (CAN-FD, FlexRay, MIL-STD-1553B, etc).

Key Technical Capabilities:

Precision Vertical Resolution: Selectable 8 to 16-bit resolution for high-fidelity measurements in low-noise or high-dynamic-range environments.

Comprehensive Analysis Suite: Integrated tools for real-time eye diagrams and jitter analysis facilitate signal integrity testing and high-speed digital validation.

Protocol Decoding: Native support for standard buses (I2C, SPI, RS232/UART) with optional packages for CAN-FD, LIN, FlexRay, MIL-STD-1553B, SENT, and I2S.

Compliance Testing: Dedicated software workflows for USB 2.0, Automotive Ethernet (100M/1000M), and MIPI D-PHY.

Integrated Design: A 10.1-inch HD capacitive touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for managing multi-channel analysis and complex triggering.
